Cover-Up

Friday June 13, 2008
Swimsuit Cover-Up from a Beach TowelI usually swim in my own back yard but lately it seems like I no sooner get out in the yard... not even to the pool and someone pulls in the driveway. I have yet to have my unexpected guest be anyone that I am comfortable in my bathing suit. I used to just wrap a beach towel around me, tucking it over at the top so that it would "hopefully" stay where I wanted it.... and the towel usually came loose before I wanted it to.

Now I have my beach towel do double duty. I designed a simple wrap from a beach towel that although it is slightly gathered on one edge when it's not being worn, it's easy to use as a beach towel.... and it stays where I want it when I need to cover-up.
