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.
