Sewing Patterns For Beach Coverups And Sarongs
So you've got a beach trip planned, but you're not quite feeling that bikini yet. Don't worry, darling, we've got you covered, literally. Check out this free pdf pattern and tutorial for the perfect beachy beach cover-up, you'll be strutting the sand in style.
How to
First things first, gather your materials. You'll need a sewing machine, fabric of your choice, thread to match, and of course the free pdf pattern.
Once you have your materials, print out the pattern and cut out the pieces. You'll need pieces for the front, back, and sleeves.
Next, follow the instructions on the pattern for cutting out your fabric pieces. You'll end up cutting two front pieces, two back pieces, and four sleeve pieces.
Now it's time to start sewing. Begin by sewing the shoulder seams of both the front and back pieces. Then, attach the sleeves by sewing along the armholes.
Next, sew the side seams of the front and back pieces together. At this point, you should have what looks like an unfinished shirt with no bottom hem.
To create the bottom hem, fold the fabric under twice and sew along the edge. You'll also want to create a hem on each of the sleeves.
Congratulations, you've just made a beachy beach cover-up!
Tips & Tricks
Now that you've got the basics down, here are some extra tips to make your cover-up really stand out.
1. Use a sheer fabric like chiffon or lace to create a more delicate look.
2. Add some embellishments like tassels or fringe to really make your cover-up pop.
3. Don't be afraid to experiment with different lengths or sleeve styles to find what works best for you.
4. Be sure to finish all edges with a zigzag stitch to prevent fraying.
Now go forth and enjoy your beach day in style, my dear. You'll be the envy of all the other beach goers with your fabulous cover-up.
