The girlies came back from their dad's with some new 3/4 trousers (from the market - so cheapies) that their Aunty had bought them. There was no way they were EVER going to wear them, so into the charity box they went. Then, I came across this tutorial and had a lightbulb moment.
The bright summer colours put me in mind of a beach bag, and as I find it really hard to source material here - and it is so expensive to order from overseas. I decided to have a go. Resulting in....
As this is my first ever real effort at sewing anything, I am really pleased with how it's turned out. Especially as I also taught myself to plait with four strands. Google it - there'll be a tute that works for you.
Girlie #1 hates it obviously -sighs.
So, it WILL be accompanying us on every single trip to the beach. Especially when we go with friends!!
And here it is again loaded up with two big beach towels and plenty of room to spare.
Next sewing project is going to be some quilting, if I can just pluck up the courage to make the first cut into the material - oops.
