Tutorial: Beach backpack with wet bag

Summer is nearly here and many of us are planning trips to the beach.  And if not the beach, then certainly the neighborhood swimming pool!  Karly from Paisley Roots shares a tutorial at Crazy Little Projects showing how you can sew a beach backpack perfect for toting your towel and other beach necessities.  The mesh panel helps keep the inevitable sand from settling down into the bottom of your bag.  She also shows how to make a zippered wet bag so you can bring a wet suit home without getting everything else in your bag wet.

Easy Cosmetics Bag Sewing Pattern

The bag is simple, uses very little fabric (about 2/3rds of a fat quarter), has no fussy inside pockets (although you can add your own if you like), and takes me well less than 30 minutes to print the pattern, cut out and sew. But quick and simple doesn’t mean it’s not awesome!

It’s the sort of bag that is versatile enough to be used for lots of applications, not just cosmetics and toiletries. Keep all your pens and pencils in order, use it for a small first aid kit for the car, keep it in your desk at work for a few headache pills and other personal supplies.

Make some for yourself, for gifts or to sell.
