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:
 |
| [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] |
!function(doc,s,id){ var e, p; if(!doc.getElementById(id)) { e = doc.createElement(s); e.id = id; p = ‘//shopsensewidget.shopstyle.com/widget-script.js’; var cb = new Date().getTime(); p += ‘?cb=’ + cb; e.src = p; doc.body.appendChild(e); } if(typeof window.ss_shopsense === ‘object’){ if(doc.readyState === ‘complete’){ window.ss_shopsense.init(); } } }(document, ‘script’, ‘shopsensewidget-script’);

April 30, 2017 at 3:51 pmI 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 =)
