AW - beach bags PIP :)

I have been busy, even after all the christmas crafting - I still love to do it.

I am going on a cruise next month with 2 of my sisters.  So, I made them beach bags.  I made the same bag for my mom, but the beach bag I just fiddled with the pattern.  Plus, I added interior pockets as well.

I used this http://www.bhg.com/crafts/sewing/accessories/six-pocket-bag/ - but let me warn you...it is pretty small.  Finished size is 8x10.  But, it was the perfect size for my mom for her lunch and her water bottles.

The straps makes pockets by stitching them all the way up.  Overall the pattern and instructions were very easy.

Here is my mom's bag

And, then I just played with the measurements to make the beach bags

and another one

The beach bags are much bigger.  I think it is 16X22.  It took A LOT of fabric.

  • Very cute!  I love the red one too!  I made a "quick" tote for my grandma at Christmas and have decided not to do too many more after as long as it took- so I definitely appreciate the time and effort that went into each of those!

    I SOOOOOO needed this trip.

    I have never been away without the kids - I hope I don't lose it lol

    I still have to make one for myself, just figuring out what prints I want.  I keep telling myself that I should use something from my stash, but I doubt that will happen lol

     

    Thanks for all the compliments :)

  • Awesome! I love all of them!
