FREE PATTERN - SHIFT FOR YOURSELF!

FREE PATTERN DOWNLOAD

COURTESY OF: RETROMONKEYS

This pattern brought back fond memories of my childhood. We spent summers in    New Hampshire at my grandmother’s dilapidated cottage. Each morning we passed the general store and crossed Route 1 on our way to the beach.  The smell of Coppertone® filled the air and the women on the beach wore terrycloth cover-ups similar to this one.

  3. I love the smell of coppertone. Both my daughter and I have a few summer lounge dresses just like this. I think I'll make a terry cloth one for after shower, so comfy! thanks for sharing this! :)

    1. I grabbed a great piece of lightweight terrycloth at an estate sale last week. Turquoise with white flowers. I have yards of it!

  4. Cute cute cute! Similar to the original Lilly Pulitzer shifts which Jacqueline Kennedy wore, only a terry cloth one would be more practical. Mary Beth, that turquoise with white sounds like a Lilly pattern.

  6. I have this in terry cloth (in my locker at the gym!) and a cool cotton. Thought it would be cute in a fancier fabric for evening with a big silk ribbon. Thanks for the pattern - now I have something to work with!

  7. This would be cute made out of a shabby chic print cotton sheet for a grown up pillowcase dress look!

  9. What a lovely idea ... make a few and tuck them as part of your guest bedroom for those guests that forget jammies or a coverup for after their showers!! Thanks a bunch for the pattern and ideas!
