Take the plunge - Dive in and create your own dreamy swimwear
We've all worn that one swimsuit that digs in, slips down, or makes us feel “meh” the moment we put it on.
That's why making your own swimwear is so much more than mastering another sewing skill.
It's about creating pieces that make us feel good on holiday 🏝️, at the local pool 🏊♀️, or on a spa date 🧖♀️
And that's exactly why I started creating my own swimwear - so I no ❌ longer had the wedgie issue of store-bought swimsuits and bikini bottoms! 👇
✨ Here are just a few of the swimwear pieces I’ve created using the exact process I teach inside Take the Plunge:
With this online swimwear course in just 4 weeks you’ll have:
✔️ Custom-fitting swimsuit blocks to use as templates to create unlimited, perfectly fitting swimsuits and bikinis
✔️ Your first me-made swimsuit or bikini
✔️ The confidence to design, draft and sew endless styles (that actually fit AND flatter you)
✔️ A skillset you’ll use again and again for years of joyful poolside pieces 🏖️💦
✨ By the end of this course, you'll know how to DESIGN ✍️, DRAFT ✂️ & SEW 🪡 swimsuits and bikinis just like these and more 👇
And just some of the results 🌟 from Take The Plunge students
How the course works
Module 1 - The perfect fit
We’ll start by creating your very own size YOU swimwear blocks—aka custom templates made for your shape—so every swimsuit and bikini you make fits like a dream (with little to no tweaking needed!).
Then we’ll dive into the must-know details of swimwear fabrics - so you’ll know exactly what to use, when, and why.
Module 2 - Sew swimwear like a pro (even without an overlocker!)
It’s time to feel confident sewing swimwear - no matter your setup.
You’ll sew your very first swimsuit toile to fine-tune the fit of your blocks, while learning sewing methods that create a professional finish, whether you’re using an overlocker/serger or just a regular machine.
Module 3 - Draft your dream swimsuits
Now that your fit is sorted, it’s time to bring the fun part to life - design!
We’ll explore the techniques you need to draft your favourite swimsuit styles and turn your ideas into pieces you’ll actually want to wear.
Module 4 - Bikini design & luxe finishing touches
In our final module, you’ll learn how to take your swimsuit blocks and draft a variety of bikini design features - so you can bring your ideas to life exactly how you envisioned them.
Plus, we’ll add the finishing touches that bring serious va va voom ✨
Think luxe details, sleek lines, and custom elements that make your bikinis feel anything but basic.
