      Thank you for the clarification. I called myself reading closely, but obviously it was before I had finished my morning cup of coffee!! The tips they give are applicable to the geck pattern or to any other heating pad you might make. I’ve updated the post here on Craft Gossip. –Anne

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.

Sewing pattern: Mesh beach bag
Sewing pattern: Beach bag with a mesh pocket

Tutorial and pattern: Oversized beach bag with rope handles
