Step 5
fold the fabric so that the sparkly side is on the inside, then put your cutout on top of the folded fabric and trace your body shape onto the fabric using a piece of chalk (so you can see it and it wont show when you are swimming.)since i already made my tail awhile ago i used a leftover piece as an example.

Step 6
put pins on the line where the chalk is to keep the tail in place. Then start sewing on the chalk line-take out the pins as you sew (if you're hand sewing like i did) i took out 4 at a time when i made mine. (sorry i dont have a picture!) make sure that you leave the whole end open-aka where the monofin goes so you can get it in and out of your tail!

Step 7
i dont have a sewing machine so when i went to my grandma's house we went over my stitches with her sewing machine just to make sure that they'd stay.
ill be sure to post mine if i get to make one

I always wanted to be a mermaid when I was little. I would put a scrunchies on my ankles so I could swim like one.
I must make this.
Thank you so much!
