Material

Drops of different pink fabrics (blue for the boy model)
40 cm pink bias (blue for boy)
60 cm of fine cord or ribbon

Wide brush or Odiclette
Odif 101 Temporary adhesive for cutting

Cutting board, rotary cutter and cutting ruler

Parchment paper
Iron

Step 1

Cut the edges of the fabric rectangles so that they are neat using the rotary cutter.

Step 2

Coat each fabric rectangle with a layer of Odicoat by applying it with the flat brush or the Odiclette and leave to dry for about 20 minutes in the open air.

Step 3

Photocopy the supplied templates and glue the back of the paper with the Odif 101 Adhesive.
Stick the pattern of the corresponding pieces on the chosen fabric scraps and cut the different pieces of the swimsuit.
With the Odif Odicoat, glue in place on the rectangle area of white fabric folded in 2 in length the bottom of the jersey about 5 cm from the fold.

Step 4

Glue the different parts of the swimsuit with the Odicoat.
Run a new layer of Odicoat over the entire surface of the 2 rectangles of fabric and let it dry for 20 minutes.

Step 5

Iron the 2 rectangles of fabric at medium temperature by protecting the fabric with a sheet of parchment paper so that the sole of the iron does not stick.

Step 6

Fold the printed fabric rectangle in half lengthwise, reverse outwards and sew both sides.

Step 7

Repeat the same operation with the white tissue rectangle.

Step 8

Turn the 2 formed pockets, place them outwards, then apply a new layer of Odicoat, emphasizing the seams to seal them.
Let dry for 20 minutes then iron again, protecting the fabric with a sheet of parchment paper.

Step 9

Flip the printed fabric pocket, upside down, and slide it into the white fabric pocket (side up).
Prick the bias straddling the edge of the 2 pockets.

Step 10

With the aid of a safety pin, pass the fine cord or ribbon through the corridor.

Tip: It is quite possible to add to your sakamayo beads, rhinestones, and other shapes according to your desires!
