Tutorial: Make a stay-put patio table cover from a shower curtain

April 2, 2010 by Anne Weaver

Rebecca from Happy Baby Designs and This Present Life made this all-weather tablecloth for her patio table from a vinyl shower curtain.  To keep it from flying away when the wind kicks up, she added an elastic casing to the bottom.  Brilliant! And I’m lovin’ those bright flowers on the clear vinyl! Want to find out how she did it?  Get the tutorial.

    I LOVE IT! It has inspired me! I am getting ready to redo colors in my bathroom soon anyway and I have an inexpensive fabric, or more like a nylon, shower curtain, not vinyl, but could be used outdoors. Like it because it is washable too! Great idea! Thanks so much!

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.
