I really like how it turned out, so light, perfect over the bathing suit, but also for a light cover when switching from heat wave to air conditioning… And it was such a quick sew with my serger!
Vicky Dufour –
Such a quick and easy sew ! Well detailed instructions, very versatile in types of fabric, which can turn the Monaco from cool and beachy to trendy and chic ! Love that there’s two options for the finishing touches, binding or folding hem. Not the last Monaco I sew, that’s for sure
Tanya Sydor –
What a wonderful sew! It is perfect for beginners and you get an amazingly beautiful cover up at the end. The length of the top is perfect- I am 5’11” and didnt have to lengthen at all!

The Monaco was so fast and easy, and makes a wonderful swim coverup! I can’t wait to try this pattern again to make myself a cardigan.

Loved this pattern! I decided to do French seams throughout and was so happy with the finish. Such an easy to follow pattern and the finished product is perfect!
Lisa Lazenby –
I used this pattern for a lightweight cardigan-type garment for summer. I love the length and dramatic sleeves and waterfall front. It’s stylish and super comfortable. I did find the project to come together quite quickly as well.

The Monaco is a quick easy sew for all sewing abilities! You can truly make this ‘your own’ by adding trim, or using just about any type of fabric. Makes a great swim cover-up, wear it with jeans, bring it to a restaurant to keep the chill off while eating, so many options, you’ll want to make many of these. Directions are easy to follow, this will become a closet staple!

Easy, fast, and pretty!

The Monaca Cover up is the ideal cover up to go to the beach or to spend your evening with friends. I loved to sew it up because you have maximum result with minimum sewing time. I used a sheer fabric to get that effect I was aiming for. Thank you!

Lovely easy pleasant sew for anyone who wants a versatile cover-up . The Monaco will be great for poolside but also for super cold indoor malls/ offices ( in sunny Singapore!) . I love that you can dress up and down in the Monaco

I love this pattern and will definitely be making more. It was very easy and quick to put together, and looks great.
Cara Girven –
The Monaco is such a quick and fun sew! I love that you can completely change the look and function just by choosing a different fabric. I can’t wait to make another one!
Alisha Adams –
This pattern came just in time for a weekend family vacation. I made an XL from a lightweight cotton and added two inches to the length. It took ~5 hrs over two days to finish this and I could not be more pleased. I’m already planning another one in a striped linen.
Julie McKinley –
Such a great pattern! Just a few seams, finish the edges, and you have a great wardrobe booster! Or swimsuit cover up! Or both!
Angel Pooley –
Love this super glam pattern. It’s a simple pattern which allowed me to focus on working on a harder fabric; shifty chiffon. Love it. Perfect for the beach or even a jacket to cover my arms on warmer days x

Love the finished product – I recently had a baby and made this for a family beach vacation to flatter my “baby curves” while lounging by the pool. It’s nice and breezy but still gives good coverage. I definitely think adding the trim is what makes this pattern so fun and flattering, and would absolutely recommend the trim option!
