Our collection of vintage beachwear and swimwear patterns

This was a lovely message that we received recently.... "I'm after an original sewing pattern for 1930s beach pyjamas and swimwear. I'm going to a re-enactment event and I'd like to wear something that no one else is. Then there's a special holiday we're planning to go on, and I'd like something retro and comfortable. Keep an eye out for classic details and practical cuts. I prefer to buy in Europe. I'd prefer a traditional paper pattern, but a digital PDF might be worth a look if I want to get started sewing right away".   To help, we have put together all of our sewing patterns that show outfits for the beach that are both authentic, original and sporty - looks from the 1930s to the 1950s. The designs are listed in chronological order, from the earliest years onward.
