Voting for the Swimwear Contest 2023 is now underway.  Almost everyone has at least one swimsuit in their wardrobe, with room for more.  There are so many patterns and fabrics out there that are suitable for any gender, body type, and style taste that it just makes sense to sew up your own.  For this contest, we asked our members to sew swimwear (bathing suit/swimsuit) for a woman, man or child. The following is a list of what is considered acceptable Bathing suit items: one piece, two piece or tankini, Swim shorts, Swim skirts, UV protected wear swim wear and modest swimwear. What was not allowed: swimming accessories such as cover-ups, yoga wear, running attire or other leisure wear. See more Contest Rules here.

21 members participated in this contest.  Each of the contestants had a month between May 1st and June 1st, 2023, to create a piece of swimwear. Click below to vote for up to 5 entries.

 

The First Place will be decided by member votes and the Second Place by random draw.

First Place will receive a $100 Gift Certificate to Discovery Fabrics, our sponsor for this contest.

Second Place will receive a $50 Gift Certificate to Discovery Fabrics

 

We would like to send out a special "Thank You" to Litapita for managing this contest.

Remember, voting for the Swimwear Contest 2023 closes on June 10th. Happy voting!

Good luck to all the participants! Most people think of high tech and performance fabrics when they think of Discovery Fabrics, but we also carry a great selection of Chlorine Resistant, sun protective Swim and swim linings, as well as Power Mesh for compression or tummy control for those who wish that feature. If you have any questions about which of our many fabrics can be used for swimwear please reach out to me either here, or through our website. Have fun with the contest! We love to being a sponsor of the prizes.
