Make a Fin Cover from Wetsuit

[Mermaid Jaffa]

I am making a fin cover from a wetsuit. Keeping the zipper intact. Will have the usual drainage holes along the bottom of the fluke but it won't have the monofin hole that I normally make when I sew my fabric tails. Hence why the zipper is staying in.

More progress tomorrow. Afternoon light getting dim.

Struck down by a cold, so progress has been slowed.

Just a note, the wetsuit and the pants, I bought when it was End of Line clearances. These clearances or sales, they're quite cheap, around Aussie $50 or so.

Anyhoo, here's what I did today...

Also, I found another pair of wetsuit pants. Its men size, depending how this goes, I may attach it to the fin cover and make that neoprene tail I've always wanted!

Trace monofin, pin and cut the shape.

Last one for the day...

Sew, trim inside and fit.
