Tutorial: Dropcloth floor cushion stuffed with fabric scraps

Kimberly from Straight Stitch Designs shares a tutorial at Make It and Love It showing how you can make this oversized floor cushion out of a drop cloth.  It’s big enough for a couple of small kids to lounge on while watching TV, or one teenager to sprawl out on while talking on the phone (or Facetiming, as the tween does in my house).  The dropcloth is a sturdy covering, and also happens to be inexpensive fabric.  She stuffs it with fabric scraps.  But if all of your fabric scraps are precious and you can’t bear to part with them, you could stuff it with old pillows instead.

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.
