Tutorial: Beach towel swim cover up

Tutorial: Terry cloth swim cover up

This swim cover up is perfect for trips to the pool or hanging out at the beach. Melissa from Blank Slate Patterns and Melly Sews shows how you can make one out of a couple of beach towels. It has a hood and roomy pockets and a zipper down the front. Elastic at the back gives it just enough shaping without sacrificing the loose fit. Go to Melly Sews for her tutorial.
