When I saw this bathing suit cover up, I thought it was a great idea and I knew I could make it myself! If you can sew a straight line, you can make it too!
It's a quick, cheap and relatively easy project, perfect for summer!

Step 1: Materials

- about a yard of fabric of your choice
-one package of double fold bias tape quilt binding
-pins
-scissors
-sewing machine

A note on fabric selection. I used a relatively thick cotton jersey. This would probably also work well with terry cloth! Whatever fabric you chose, make sure it can get wet! Wash and dry your fabric beforehand.
Also, since you need only a yard of fabric, check the remnants section of your fabric store. You might be able to find just the right amount of fabric and get a great deal! I found this white fabric in the remnants section at my local fabric store and chose a deep teal binding for a nautical feel.

Step 2: Open and Cut and Pin Binding

Open the package of blanket binding, find the enter and cut it in half. These two pieces will border the two front edges of the wrap and make the loops to put your arms through.
Pin the binding along the two selvedge edges of the fabric, making sure to push the edge of the fabric all the way into the crease so it is sandwiched in the binding.
When you get to the end of the edge, to make the arm loop, leave a loop of binding unattached over about 6 inches of fabric, then reconnect the binding and pin securely. To make sure both arm loops are even, fold the fabric in half and use the loop you already pinned down as a guide for making the other one.
Pin binding down securely each edge of the fabric.

Step 3: Sew

Starting at one bottom edge, sew the binding the fabric, taking out pins as you go. When you get to the arm loops, continue sewing the binding together so it doesn't flop open.
I sewed each side three different times, but this is completely overkill and you really only need to sew them once, I just like the look of the three lines of stitches.

Step 4: Wear It!

To wear this cover up, start with it behind you, cross one side over and put your arm through the loop, then do the same with the other side. Super easy!
