Burda Style For people who sew

Baste the insert’s and lining’s sides together.

Fold the long strap piece wrong sides together. Mark its center, and mark the back of the swimsuit’s center. Pin the folded strap’s center to the swimsuit’s center. Stitch the strap to the swimsuit, pulling on the strap as you sew. This will make the strap stay snugly against your body as you wear the swimsuit.

Stop one each before you reach the insert’s top. Make a 1-cm notch perpendicular to the strap’s raw side, right at the top of the insert. Turn the straps to the wrong side, and sew the remaining long sides as well as the short end closed. Turn the straps inside out through the 1-inch opening on top of the inlay. Sew the opening at the inlay closed.

Serge/finish the binding and body’s raw edges together.
