At the Pattern Patter blog, Sherri from Sew Betty and Dot writes about the Butterick Young Designers line of patterns, and one of those designers in particular – Mary Quant.  A most interesting read, her post tells how Mary Quant began her career and the impact she had on the fashion world.  She also gives links to shops where you can purchase some vintage Mary Quant sewing patterns.

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

Tutorial and pattern: Oversized beach bag with rope handles
