Another Version of a Scarf Beach Coverup

Here is another easy method for making a beach coverup from two scarves. I bought two 36 inch square scarves online for $2.30 apiece. I cut one corner off of each on the diagonal at a place that worked with the print, about 3 inches from the corner. I sewed these cut raw edges into a 1/2 inch casing, and threaded a 25 inch tube I'd sewn from lining fabric through the casings. I then sewed the two "side" seams of the adjacent edges, leaving an opening for my arms (about 20 inches away from the far corners that now hang at the bottom of the "side seams"). It's easy to pull on over my head.

Here we are at the beach in Montego Bay, Jamaica wearing them:
