For going to the beach during your holidays or weekly picnics on the city beach, you can not do without a beach bag. And it's better if there are several of them. Why? Because the program for the day can be different. It's one thing to go to the sea for a couple of hours and quite another to pack everything you need for a picnic. In the last option, you can not do without a bag over your shoulder. Women's beach bags usually have two long handles, but one can be made.

Selecting material

If you want to make your own beach bags, then first decide on the material. The skill and creativity of our needlewomen have long been envied by designers from developed countries. Whatever material is not allowed in the important business of creating bags for the beach is our fair half. Most of the fabrics do not need to run to the store. Almost all of them are from the category of "what is at hand." Towels and pillowcases, cotton straps and plastic bottles, building nets and shower curtains, t-shirts and even prom dresses.

Of course, you can get them at any accessory store. But don't waste your money on beach bags. With their handscan be done in just a couple of hours. Shake out unnecessary things sent to the pantry or on the mezzanine. Get everything you need. Old t-shirt? Fine. And this mesh, left after the repair work, is also suitable. And with this old handbag, rings on the handles may be needed. Etc. Don't limit your imagination. It is she, and also your skillful hands, that will distinguish you from the beach crowd.

Sewing two DIY beach bags

Very simple

An old T-shirt, a calico pillowcase, thread, scissors and a sewing machine - that's all we need. The good news is that you don't have to rip anything. Lay the t-shirt on the pillowcase and draw a rectangle so that the design does not fall under the cut. Secure with pins and cut out. Fold the knitted and calico parts with the right sides. Go ahead. Unscrew and lay the finishing seam. Fold the treated parts - the front and back wrong sides and sew, stepping back from the edge 0.7-1 cm. Turn it out and sew again, stepping back 1.2-1.5 cm. Cut out a rectangle from the rest of the pillowcase, glue the adhesive and sew a long handle. Double stitch it to the side seams.

Spacious and almost weightless

The second item of our project "Sew bags with your own hands" - a plastic mesh product.

Cut out several cotton rectangles: 1 wide for finishing the bottom of the bag, 2 for the piping of the top edge of the bag and 2 for the handles and one large one from the mesh, iron the hem on them;

Glue the handlesspecial tape;

Place exactly in the center of the grid the bottom trim piece and stitch it;

Sew piping to the top edge of the bag;

Sew the handles and stitch them to the facings;

Fold the almost assembled bag right sides. Look, you might want to make curly sides. Cut to your liking. The bag can both expand to the bottom and narrow;

Sew the studded parts of the bag. Trim the seam allowance with bias binding.

That's it, two handmade beach bags ready to go out.
