Every year we load up our car and drive a few hours north to Bear Lake. Usually we camp or rent a cabin, and we play at the beach for days. It’s the perfect little retreat for us in the middle of Utah’s scalding, dry summers. When I started planning out my projects for the year I didn’t even think about making something for the beach, but right after I finished my May project I was scrolling through Pinterest and found this photo:
The maxi dress swim cover that isn’t actually a dress was so up my alley. Naturally, I scraped my original June plans and decided this was going to take its place. Don’t you worry, though, I still have plans to make that project. Maybe it will be in next year’s series (spoiler alert lol). It really felt like a good direction to take, so I jumped in and got started. There is so much fabric in my stash, but I chose to use the fabric I had planned for the month anyway. It was a lightweight cotton material that I thought would be cool. And you’ll never guess what happy little discovery I stumbled upon. I follow so many diy/craft/sewing channels on YouTube and my favorite is Orly Shani from the DIY Designer. She does incredibly fun DIY projects that always inspire me. Low and behold, she has a tutorial for this exact kind of cover up. I don’t believe in fate, but this came close to changing my mind lol. Why work harder when you can work smarter and follow a tutorial? If you want to check the video out I’ll leave a link HERE.
