what fabric are swimsuits made of
Rating Newest Oldest. Best Answer: I make swimsuits and panties from nylon, tricot, spandex, lycra, and acetate. They are very hard to sew. You need a stretch and sew machine and ball point needles and certain kinds of thread. You can buy patterns and try one from one way stretch as practise. If it comes out okay, get the fabric you want and try a finished product.
