Sewing swimwear need not be daunting under the gentle guidance of Chelsea Gurnoe of Friday Pattern Company. In this class, she walks you through stitching the Seabright Swimmer, a swimsuit that features a dramatically plunging neckline and optional long sleeves for style and sun protection. She demonstrates additional techniques including adding foam cups and attaching laced D-rings for more coverage, making this suit particularly customizable. You'll work with swimwear fabric and quarter-inch elastics using any sewing machine to make a modern one-piece that is as empowering to make as it is to wear.

I loved this class, I learned a lot watching it, and I would to make a few in different prints, HOWEVER, I can not find a link to purchase the PDF pattern. I see in the material listing that you must purchase and print the pattern, but it only says you can purchase it here....the only thing if you hit here nothing happens, and there is no other link to hit to find it.
