It’s going to be an easy “Get Ready for Spring/Summer 2013″ refashion/sewing project:
Start with picking your fabric! I got this curtain/table cloth material at Goodwill for only $2.99

Don’t you just love it?

Then I laid it out flat, and as you can see the front is shorter than the back (yes, I intended it to be like that! :) ) and placed a shirt on top of it, to see where the seams would approximately go:

And here you have it! A very chic and shabby swimsuit cover up!

Now if only spring would come!

Great idea to use a tablecloth! I wouldn't have thought to use a tablecloth ( and I have a lot of similar tablecloths that don't fit my table). Definitely going to try this! And it looks really cute on you too! :)
