To make a beach towel bag you
can either use a beach towel, large towel or a hand towel for a smaller
size bag.
You will need: Beach towel or large towel
Washcloth
Nylon rope, cording or webbing for handles
Lay the towel out on a table and fold bottom third up to middle. Pin a
washcloth in the middle.
Unfold towel and
sew along three sides of washcloth to make a pocket. Fold bottom third
back in place. Stitch along the two sides. The top third portion will
be a flap that you can tuck into the bag or drape over the front.
Make the handles by cutting your rope or cording to desired length. The
length of your rope will depend on your size of bag. To make it
stronger I made 2 handles each, 40 inches long. Sew cording on sides of
towel, backstitching several times to make it secure.
If you don't want
such a large bag, use a hand towel and continue with the directions
above. Use 1 yard, which is 36 inches, of cording.
Smaller towel
bag using a hand towel.
You
can also sew a simple handle by cutting 2 lengths, 12 inches long of
webbing. Sew a handle on each side of the bag. This handle won't fit
over the shoulder like above, it will just be a handle to carry in your
hand.
