In this section's video I explain in detail how to determine if a fabric stretches enough to be used to make a swimsuit. Remember that stretching the fabric is an important factor but you should also take into account the composition of the fabric. Always look for nylon / spandex fabric for your swimsuits. Visit the section of where to buy fabrics for swimsuits for a wide variety of fabrics.

Before you start working on the making of the Sharon Pattern, make sure you have done this test with the fabric you are going to use.
