So now it’s time to really test my #spandex #bodysuit #sewing pattern by using new fabric, with 20% spandex. So far this fabric is proving to be nice to work with.
I spent some time figuring out and deciding which side of the fabric should face out, but not until I was done marking everything up did I change my mind and decide that the matte side should be facing out instead. I won’t re-mark anything, but will just keep this in mind when sewing it together. @sewing
7/🧵
I re-cut the fabric using my new #spandex #bodysuit pattern before #sewing it back together. I also modified the zipper installation to accommodate a smaller neck/collar.
I’m happy with the fit, the only problem is it was impossible to put on or take off by myself so I needed my wife to help me with the zipper. It is indeed a bit tight, but this fabric has only 5% spandex, so I think if I stick to 20%+ spandex, it should be okay, especially with complete seam allowances everywhere. @sewing

Once I got the #spandex #bodysuit to fit how I wanted, I painstakingly took apart all the serged seams to trace it out and make a #sewing pattern.
The front and back are not symmetrical, which allows for a nicer, form-fitting fit.
At the same time, I also superimposed my body measurements using the instructions from the aforementioned video and calculated negative ease before finalizing the pattern. @sewing

I also came across this YouTube #sewing video, “How to Make a #Spandex #Bodysuit,” which made me realize that I may be overcomplicating things unnecessarily… @sewing

I’ve been working — very slowly — on getting the fit right, before I take this #Spandex #Bodysuit apart to make a #sewing pattern.
3/🧵
But I ended up buying another #Spandex #Bodysuit on Amazon first, because I thought it would make a better #sewing pattern. @sewing
This new bodysuit has a centre seam all the way down the back, which lends itself to a nicer-looking bum, but equally important, it allows much more options for adjusting the fit.
It too had some fit issues, though, and a high neck that I hated, so I still had to tailor it to fit.
2/🧵
I purchased some black “Tricot Matte UV Protective Nylon Stretch Fabric” (190gsm; 19% Spandex, 81% Nylon) to make a new #Spandex #bodysuit, but needed to make a #sewing pattern first. @sewing
It’s been so long since I’ve been on Mastodon that all my previous #sewing posts about tailoring a #Spandex #bodysuit have been automatically deleted! @sewing
You may remember, the one I bought on Amazon was too loose and baggy, but then after making the form-fitting alterations, it ended up too sheer and see-through…
