The ladies in the pool where I do my water aerobics decided to celebrate the end of spring with an "Ugly Swim Suit" contest today. The only rules were 1. you must wear two suits (so we could tell who was entered in the contest) and 2. one suit must be worn inside out. Most of the suits were really thin and faded. A couple of them had linings that were in tatters. Mine wasn't in that bad of shape (yet) so I took a clue from a dress I saw in a thrift shop (Did I tell you about this dress? Floor length, lined, beautiful workmanship with floor length lined coat to match out of 3" squares of double knit. My reaction when I saw it was "Why?").
In the stash at the church were tons of 1.5" squares of double knit. I stitched those puppies together four to six across and made a pass from the neck line in the front to the back neck line. I secured it at front and back neck and at the leg openings with a quick slip stitch and then secured the rest with really ugly buttons. I will take a picture of it later (it is on display now) and post it as an edit. Have no idea if I won but it was fun doing it and very uncomfortable to wear over my good swim suit.
