Swimming fabric is a super versatile and easy-to-sew fabric, perfect for so many applications other than just swimwear. swim suit fabrics are most commonly made with a combination of nylon and spandex, and have excellent stretch and recovery. They generally have wonderful drape, with a cool and fluid hand. Sewing with swim fabric is a breeze, and doesn't require any special equipment besides a stretch or ballpoint needle and a sewing machine. You can wash and dry swim fabric just like any other knit that has spandex in it- we generally recommend washing on warm and tumbling dry. as the name suggests, swim fabric is what one would use when sewing swimwear, but there is SO much more that can be done with it!Wearing it close to the body also allows for better exercise and excellent stretching. It has good wrinkle resistance and generally does not produce certain wrinkles.
