Deanna from Sew McCool has some suggestions to help attract younger people to take up sewing. Just I had a conversation yesterday with an acquaintance about how many sewing skills are being lost because they are not being passed down to the next generation. Some of Deanna’s suggestions are directed to the mover and shakers in the sewing industry, but there are quite a few on her list that you and I can do. Click the link to go to her article:

Sewing Pattern – DIY Beach Towel Bag

If you are like me you want an easy way to carry your towel and a few items to the beach but don’t want a bag just to hold those things.

So I came up with the idea to make a beach towel bag. This way it is a bag that can hold a few items but also function as your towel. I love it! I share with you how you can make your own beach towel bag.

This is an easy sewing project that is perfect for summer! I even made a few for my kids so they each have their own. Start sewing this fun bag today.

Sewing pattern: Mesh beach bag
Sewing pattern: Beach bag with a mesh pocket
