As soon as I saw this Lanvin Ruched Beach Skirt I knew it would be perfect to DIY. Not only is it a great beach cover up, it's really easy to make!
[Tip: When working with swimwear fabric on a sewing machine, it is best to stretch it as you sew]
Supplies:
- Nylon/Spandex swimwear fabric (¾ yard)
- Loop turner
 |
| [Cut a section from the top of the fabric that 1" wide and 55" long] |
 |
|
| [Fold the fabric in half and sew a line the entire length, creating a tube] |
 |
| [Using the loop turner, turn right side out] |
 |
| [Fold fabric in half width wise. Using your hip measurement as a guide, cut out a square, measuring 19" long] |
 |
| [Cut approx. 4" of fabric off at the waist, creating a curve from the waist to the hips] |
 |
| [Fold the skirt in half- right sides together and sew the seam leaving about an inch on the side] |
 |
| [Fold the ends of the seams down and sew in place, creating tiny tubes] |
 |
| [Thread the tube through the loop turner from hem to waistband, hook on the string you made earlier and pull through] |
 |
| [Fold the string over and pull through from waistband to hem. Adjust the ruching and tie a bow] |

Looks nice. Any suggestions about the most affordable places to buy fabric? Thanks
I usually buy fabric from fabric.com. I think I purchased this fabric from Joann (I can't remember- it was a while ago) They always have 30% coupons. Hope this helps =)
