The Banksia Swim Extension pack provides pattern pieces and instructions to transform your Banksia Bralette pattern in to Swimwear.
The Banksia Swimsuit Expansion turns your Banksia Bralette pattern into a swimsuit that you wont want to take off! Views A and B feature our unique support slings that separate and provide light support. View B is a tankini top with a hidden bralette. The swim bottoms are fully lined and provide perfect coverage for your body. All views feature a comfy edge binding that won’t dig in, whilst also providing a professional finish. The Banksia Swimsuit can be sewn on domestic sewing machine with a zigzag stitch. No serger required!
