{"product_id":"cowrie-kini","title":"Cowrie Kini | Paradise Patterns | PDF Pattern","description":"The Cowrie Kini (named after the Cowrie shell! The shape of the top resembles two cowrie shells I think) is a bikini pattern with two style options for the top and a French cut bottom with medium coverage and two waist rise options. View A, the flat front top, is finished with fold over elastic (FOE) and has a G-hook closure in the back. You can choose either mid- or high rise bottoms for both views. View B, the tie front top, is self faced and this construction is commonly called “seamless”, meaning you don’t see the seams and the lining and main fabric is the same.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYou will learn:\u003cbr\u003e✿ How to sew swimwear on your regular sewing machine, no serger necessary.\u003cbr\u003e✿ Two ways of finishing edges on a bikini\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFABRIC RECOMMENDATIONS\u003cbr\u003eChoose knit fabric labeled “swim” or “active wear” with 4-way stretch.
