Tech. Description

Draped Beach Cover-Up

A women's loose cape-style cover-up cut as one single piece, with a draped cowl at the front, a V-neck and a centre back seam at the back, and a hem that falls into long points finished with handmade tassels.

When To Wear

  • Over a swimsuit on the beach or by the pool.
  • Over a vest top and shorts on hot summer evenings.

Key Design Features

Silhouette: Loose and wide, cape-like, with the fabric falling from the shoulders to form short sleeve-like drapes.

Length: Hip length at the centre front, dropping to long points at the sides.

Neckline: Soft cowl folds at the front; V-neck at the back. The neckline allowance is turned in and topstitched.

Back: Centre back seam, stitched from the hem up to a mark, pressed open.

Finishing: All lower edges overlocked, turned in and topstitched. Tassels about 10 cm long, wound from decorative thread on a piece of card and sewn to the points of the hem.

Level Of Difficulty

Beginner. One piece, one seam, turned-and-topstitched edges and hand-made tassels; the only care needed is in handling a slippery, fluid fabric.

Fabric Recommendations

Silky, well-draping fabrics from natural or blended fibres.

Additional Supplies

  • Decorative thread (for the tassels)

Cutter's Must

If the patterns have a double contour, they include seam allowances. If the contour is single, the patterns do not include seam allowances. Seam allowances: all seams – 1 cm. Attention! First of all, print out the paper patterns and lay them out on the fabric width (fabric width can be from 90 cm to 150 cm) to determine how much material you will need (do not forget to account for paired and symmetrical pieces).

  • From main fabric:
    • Cape - 1 piece

Sewing Instructions

When stitching pieces, pay attention to the notches - they must match!

  1. Overlock the back edge. Stitch the edge from the raw edge to the mark. Press the seam open. Fold the neckline allowance inwards and topstitch.
  2. Overlock the bottom edges, fold inwards and topstitch.
  3. Tassel: cut a piece of cardboard 10 cm high (finished tassel length) and 5 – 7 cm wide. Place a pencil on top. Then wind the threads 20 – 30 times. Remove the cardboard, direct the threads down from the pencil. Secure the tassel with thread under the pencil. Remove the pencil, thread a needle through the loop formed, and sew it to the cape.
