Faye Swimsuit Pattern
Function meets form with Faye, a modern, versatile, and fully lined swimsuit. With a clean finish and minimalist design lines, the Faye Swimsuit features a scoop neckline and a slightly cheeky cut, with enough variations to create a full wardrobe of swimwear.
View A blends a high-rise bikini bottom and a bikini top with straight straps. View B is sporty and fun with a low-rise bikini bottom and a bikini top with a strappy back and supportive underbust band. Prefer a one-piece? View C is a classic maillot with a deep scoop back and adjustable straps.
Sizes: 0-20 (print and PDF) and 14-32 (PDF)
Recommended fabric:
- Swimsuit lycra with 4-way stretch (at least 50% crosswise stretch).
- Swim lining with 4-way stretch (100% nylon suggested) - you may also use swimsuit fabric in lieu of lining

I made the top for my teenage daughter and she loves it! This is not my first time sewing swimwear, but I learned some new techniques from the helpful tips in the pattern that I will continue to use. Will definitely make this pattern again!
This was a really fun make. The instructions are great and the bikini looks beautiful.
I had a lot of fun making view 2 with two colours and I think it looks great. I will probably make another one for next year.
This was my first time using this kind of fabric and sewing this kind of clothing and closetcose as always helped me every step of the way! From the blogs to help me think about sewing swimwear to sew alongs and knowing I can trust the pattern and the instructions I can totally recommend this pattern to others. I can’t wait to make more bikinis for my wardrobe
