With the start of the beach season, there is a need for beach bags. You can buy this inexpensive accessory on almost every corner. But why spend money if you have imagination, one and a half meters of fabric and 20 minutes of free time? Simple cut, low cost and many design options make beach bags ideal for handicrafts.
It is necessary
Cloth, felt-tip pen / crayon, ruler, scissors, safety pins, thread, sewing machine
Instructions
Step 1
Choose a fabric for your bag. It should be dense and durable, and match in color with clothes (you can sew several bags that match different outfits). Cut out a rectangle 50 cm high and 40 cm wide from the fabric. Fold right side in and sew on the sides, stepping back from the edge 1 cm, with a straight stitch. Close the edge with a small zigzag seam.
Step 2
To form the bottom of the bag, step back 4 cm from the fold of the fabric and use your fingers to join the side seams to the bottom of the bag on both sides. As a result, triangles should be formed on the sides, the base of which needs to be sewn.
Step 3
Wrap the top of the bag over yourself, i.e. turn to the wrong side, 1 cm and zigzag. Why wrap it up again, but already 3 cm, and sew with a straight stitch around the entire perimeter.
Step 4
Cut out the bag handles 50 cm long and 7 cm wide. Fold them in half, right side in, and sew one centimeter from the edge, leaving a hole to turn out.
Step 5
Turn the handles to the front side, iron them out and sew to the bag from the inside, stitching around the perimeter and criss-cross the place of connection with the bag.
