Sewing Tutorial: Mesh beach or swimming bag

Not only is this mesh bag super stylish it’s also practical. Pascale from // between the lines // designed it as a beach bag, and she wrote up a tutorial so you can make one, too. The mesh is visually appealing with a cool industrial chic, but it also keeps the sand out. She added a zippered oilcloth pocket on the inside to hold keys and other small items. The orange bias tape trim is the perfect contrast with the gray window mesh material she used for the body of the bag. Go to her tutorial.
