How to Make A Mermaid Tail for Swimming

Step 3: Sew the Swim Tail

Pin the two sides of fabric front sides together and sew around the sides and bottom edges.

Fold down the top and sew a casing for the elastic. Measure the elastic to fit snugly around the waist, insert into the casing, and finish.

Insert the monofin into the swim tail. It's ready for swimming.

I don't think it really matters, I made one of these over the summer, and I used a sewing machine and my sisters was hand sewed. they turned out the same. Good luck!!!!

Hi I was wondering if we had to use something certain like if we had to use a sewing machine or sew by hand. Please Reply Back. Thank you

I used my sewing machine. You'll want a good strong stitch since it's a tight-fitting stretchy garment, but you can do that by hand or machine.
