Free pattern: Ultimate Pool Bag

Marissa from Rae Gun Ramblings shares a free pattern for making her Ultimate Pool Bag. It’s kind of like the Swiss army knife of pool bags, really. It has a detachable clear vinyl wet bag to hold wet suits or flip flops. Towel loops on the outside of the bag are a convenient way to lug all those towels, and when you come home there won’t be damp towels getting everything inside the bag wet. Inside the bag, there’s plenty of space to hold all the toys and sunscreen bottles and other items you’re always lugging to the pool.
