Frequently Asked Questions
What fabric should I use for swim trunks?
Board short fabric (polyester or nylon with a DWR finish) is the standard choice. Look for fabric with 2-way stretch for comfort.
Do I need a serger to sew swim trunks?
A serger gives the cleanest finish on swimwear fabric, but you can use a zigzag stitch or stretch stitch on a regular sewing machine.
