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
Thanks, Anne for featuring this. I should have done a picture tutorial, but oh well, we only have time for so much nowadays! Thank you most of all for telling all the real names – contrast hem facing and scoop pockets – love that I now know what they’re called! So embarrassing.
