Thanks to everyone who watched my television debut on the Happi House this morning. If you don’t get the CW channel and missed the show, I’ll post a link as soon as I get one.
In the meantime, let’s make a beach cover up for those soon to be summer days that will be spent lounging around the pool being served umbrella clad drinks by handsome cabana boys. (A girl can dream can’t she?)
Just grab some towels, ribbon, elastic, your trusty sewing machine and click here to see the full tutorial.
When you’re finished, throw on a swim suit and some flip flops, grab a good book, wrap your new towel robe around you and head to the nearest beach chair for a relaxing day on the water.
Enjoy your Sunday!

THIS. IS. PERFECT! How did you know that this is exactly what I need to make for my daughter!!!! Thank you so much!
Your daughter is one lucky girl!!!
I usually just rehem old towels but they still look old. Will be trying your bias tape update and making some after bath robes. Like you I hate to through things out that still have a bit of life left in them and love watching for your newest ideas!
Thank you
Karen
Have fun with this, Karen. Just a word of warning though, bias tape can be addicting. 🙂
I’ve made wraps, with the elastic on one end that goes above the bust (or waist) and has velcro. It was cheaper than buying and I could customize for my kids as needed. Now…going to have to try a robe!!!
Oh I really hope you get a chance to try this. Thanks for your nice comment!
So cute, actually makes me feel like a trip to the pool. Thanks for sharing.
Nothing like spending some time by the water! Have fun!
nice wraps! I’ve got a Craft Gossip post scheduled for tomorrow morning that links to your tutorial: http://sewing.craftgossip.com/tutorial-terry-cloth-towel-swimsuit-cover-up/2015/04/13 –Anne
Thanks so much for sharing this, Anne!
Very clever, as usual! The terry cloth is such a practical fabric for the cover-up. I pinned this so I will remember. Thanks!
Thanks for pinning, Margie!
So, so cute! Your projects are so do-able for the average sewer, and on top of that you have a great eye for fabrics and trims that makes them stand out even more. Another great project 🙂
