Sewing pattern: Picnic blanket that won’t blow away

July 3, 2019 by Anne Weaver

Sewing tutorial: Picnic blanket that won't blow away

Whether it’s 4th of July fireworks or family reunions or trips to the beach, you’ll probably be spreading out a picnic blanket at least once this summer. Sew a picnic blanket that won’t blow away with this tutorial by Sew4Home.  It has pockets in the corner where you can put rocks or other weights to keep the blanket from blowing away.  Or use the grommets in the corners to place spikes to keep the blanket in place if the wind blows.  There’s also a handy carrying wrap to make it easy to carry to and from the park.

Click below for the tutorial:

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.
