Perfect for the beach or the pool!

And the hood makes drying off a breeze

Let’s get started!

Materials:

1.Cut out your pieces. Make sure you make the arm and neck holes nice and roomy so it’s easy to get on and off. I used a hood on a coat as a guide for making the hood. The skirt should be 1 1/2 times the width of the bodice piece. You need 2 of each piece. ***If you’re using a beach towel use the finished edges of the towel for the straight edge of the hood and the bottom of the skirt.

2. Sew the sides of the skirt together with RST and gather the top, so it’s the same width as the bodice.

 2. With right sides together sew the curved edge of the hood

 3. Add bias tape to the hood edge and the bottom of the skirt (unless you already have the finished towel edge)

4. With RST sew up the side seams of the bodice

 5. RST sew the gathered skirt to the bodice.

6. RST sew the hood to the neck opening of the bodice. Terry cloth stretches so you shouldn’t have any trouble getting the hood to go all the way around.

7. Add bias tape to the arm holes

 You’re ready to hit the beach!
