It’s summer year-round with the Ruffled Tankini Swimsuit!  The fun design and fit is perfect for year-round play and fun!  The tankini top has three sizes of ruffle skirts that can be combined for different looks.  Sew the tankini bottoms in a color to match or contrast with the tankini top.  Two different examples of the tankini are shown in the pattern to get you started making your own version.

I create my patterns with three things in mind: trendy, beautiful design, creative options to add your own touch and everything you need to know to sew the project.

Ruffled Tankini Swimsuit Pattern Features:

  • The ruffles start at the mid/high waist with a trendy shape, reminiscent of vintage designs.
  • Unfinished skirt edges have a realistic drape to the ruffles and won’t fray or unravel.
  • Fold over elastic edges, for a clean, neat, finish.
  • No closures, quick to make with a realistic and smooth back.
  • Step by step photos and instructions.
  • Everything you need to know about sewing fold over elastic.
  • Bonus: Bow pattern is included!
  • Bonus: Flower pattern that is featured on the dance costume variation is included!
