Sew a Tween Summer Wardrobe with Cherry Berry Swim Fabrics
Summer is here, and there's no better time to create a splash with some handmade swimwear and accessories for the tweens in your life. I designed the Cherry Berry Summer fabric collection with bright days and poolside play in mind—featuring berry tones, cherries, florals, checks, and classic picnic plaids.
Sewing with Swim Lycra from Carriage House Printery
These swimsuits are made with vibrant swim lycra printed by Carriage House Printery, a high-quality option for home sewists who want custom prints that hold up to sun, salt, and chlorine. Cherry Berry Summer prints pop beautifully on swim fabric—and they’re even cuter on confident little swimmers.

All swimwear pieces were sewn by the talented Hydee of @one.small.stitch using beloved patterns from Little Lizard King:
