Make a Cute Swimsuit Cover-Up with this Free Pattern

I am always looking for cute cover-ups to take with me to the beach or pool.

Last Spring Break we went on a cruise and I could not find any bathing suit cover-ups that I liked, so I decided that I’d try to make one.

This swimsuit cover-up pattern is considered a “fits most” pattern.  I am about 5’9″ and wear a size 8-10 and it fits me well.

– 2 Yards of Lightweight Fabric – Double fold bias tape – 2-3 Yards of twine – Fabric Safe Marking Pen – Ruler – Basic Sewing Supplies

Supplies to Sew Cover-Up:

Step One: Begin by cutting two pieces of fabric each 40″ wide by 36″ tall. The 36″ is the length that goes from your shoulder to your leg.

Swimsuit Cover-Up Directions:

Stitch the two pieces together at the top along the 40″ sides.  Right sides facing. If you have a serger, finish off the edge.

Print off your neckline pattern piece. Trace it onto a scrap of interfacing or pattern paper, on the fold, so that you have a full pattern piece.
