  I found this piece of black double gauze in G Streets 'Treasure Hunt Room'   I do love that room.  So I folded it over cut a hole in the center of the fold and made a baggy top, there was enough scrap left to add a littl piece on the end of the make shift sleeves that were wide from the fabric width and I added some scrap white to the top and sleeves and bottom.  I decided to add some Eyelet to the edges for a little fancier beach comfy top.

The curve in the front is smaller than the curve in the back. One piece is your right leg and one piece is your left leg. Make that curve the same as your curve.   Measure your curve with a string or your measuring tape, from crotch to waist and then lay it on your pattern piece so they are the same. This is how they are shaped... one pattern piece... using 1 + yard of fabric 54-60 wide folded over... stretchy like scuba No, I don't have a cutting table.  I use...
