A Sarong is the perfect choice to complement your beach wear- just simply wrap and tie.

For making a Sarong, our Rayon Batik fabrics are stylish and chic!

Rayon Batik fabric is soft, lightweight, comfortable, flowing and drapes elegantly.

Sew Machine or fabric adhesive tape (such as Heat and Bond)

It’s simply a long rectangle of fabric, no pattern necessary!

The standard size sarong is 66″ in length by 45″ wide.

However, with every woman being a different size, we found the best way to get the right size for your body is:

your hip measurement + 36″.

Our Rayon Batik Fabric is 46″ wide and wouldn’t need to be adjusted for the length. (Unless you are petite or want a shorter sarong)

To finish, first cut off the selvage edge. Then fold each raw edge 1/4″ and press to wrong side of fabric. (6 mm)

* If you have a serger, first serge then fold and press.

Fold again to the wrong side and sewing along the inside hem edge.

If you don’t sew, create a “hem” on the folded edges and use fabric adhesive tape.

(We suggest Heat’n Bond Iron-On Adhesive Hem, which works great with rayon.)

That’s it!
