Something for me...

This is my first attempt at refashioning clothes for myself. It was a rollover cotton skirt, and now it is a swimsuit cover up...


Although I did not have a pattern to follow, I was inspired by this post about a pattern in some magazine that I don't have. I changed it a bit to fit my need for a cover up at the beach this summer.
Unrolling the top of the skirt, I cut just a tad off the top, and then sewed in wide elastic. Then I took a knit material that doesn't have to be hemmed and gathered it at both ends then wrapped it around the top and sewed it in place. Pretty easy and quick which is my kind of project.
