How to Make a Sarong Wrap
Body conscious or not, you may want a light and breezy cover up for a day at the beach or a few hours spent poolside. Make your own sarong that you can wrap and tie in a number of fashionable ways. With just a few items and a little bit of time you'll get the coverage you need outside the water without having to carry a lot of extra clothing in your beach bag.

1
Wash and dry the fabric. Use only laundry detergent when washing the fabric and don't use dryer sheets when drying it.

2
Look for the cut edges (the ends that were cut at the fabric store) and the selvage edges (the ends with a thin strip of fabric that is more tightly woven than the rest of the fabric). The selvage edges serve as the finished top and bottom of the sarong.

Fold each cut edge 1/4 inch toward the wrong side of the fabric twice. Sew the folded edges of the fabric with a 1/8-inch seam allowance to create hemmed edges.
