Please note that PDF patterns differ from traditional sewing patterns, and not all PDF designers have the same style. We prefer to give measurements for simple rectangles instead of rectangular pattern pieces to save your time, paper, ink, and tape. You will only receive pattern pieces for curved portions of the garment, and you will follow the cutting chart for the remaining pieces.

I made shore's and absolutely love it. I was able to easily follow the instructions and I love that I was able to grade the bathing suit for the perfect fit. There is no way I could acheive this fit from a store brought bathing suit. Thank you CKC for such a wonderful and well written pattern.
There is nothing like having a swimsuit that fits my body perfectly, and the Shore's pattern made that so easy to achieve! The videos and photos gave me confidence to make a beautiful and comfortable suit! I love how many different looks I can make with one pattern
