Sewing a beach bag from terry towels -one of the easiest ways to make a necessary summer product with your own hands, roomy and comfortable, performing the role of not only a means of transporting things, but also a kind of sun lounger. You will not need any supernatural materials for sewing, everything can be found at home, as well as a lot of time. In just a few minutes, a maximum of an hour, the bag will be ready. Bags are a unique accessory and a useful thing that has been used since time immemorial. There are a huge number of different types of bags, from small ladies' to huge travel bags. In the summer, beach bags are particularly relevant. Buying them is not particularly difficult, since manufacturers offer a huge selection of different models in any color scheme. But, you must agree, it is much more interesting and pleasant to sew an accessory with your own hands, which will become an exclusive model. You will definitely not find exactly the same bag anywhere else. It is especially pleasant if such a product does not require any serious costs and you can sew it from materials that can always be found at home. Today we would like to invite you to get acquainted with sewing a beach bag from terry towels. You can not only put necessary small things in such a bag, but also use it as a sun lounger (mat) on the beach.So, to make the accessory we need to prepare:

two towels terry bath, having not too big, but not a small size;
narrow pillow, not very big (there should be a few towels already);
pieces of colored fabric (preferably cotton or other natural material);
buttons selected at your discretion, and loops;
sewing pins;
thread corresponding color;
sewing sharp scissors for cut;
Iron (needed for ironing the edges of the fabric;
sewing machine.

We need to take a prepared rectangular pillow, the dimensions of which are slightly smaller than the terry towels we have chosen for the product.We need to put a pillow on one of the towels.and fold it together with its edge as shown in the photo. You will get the so-called pocket or compartment, in which the pillow for lying down during rest will be located. We pin the edges and sew them. We leave a few centimeters of the towel in order to sew the second one to it later, and we cut off everything else.We need to sew along the edges of the second towelstrips of the cotton fabric we have chosen. This can be a strip made from different scraps or you can use only one fabric, as you prefer. The strip is a rectangle, the length of which will correspond to the length of the towel itself. The width of the rectangle will be approximately ten centimeters.At the edges, we bend the strip inward on both sides by one centimeter and iron it well.Now we need to sew the trim strips toedges of the towel and sew both parts of the bag together (the towel with the pillow and the second towel). Everything needs to be sewn together with a sewing machine. When we fold the sewn parts together, we will get a product like in the photo below.We need to add the necessary details to our bag,tone pockets for small items. To do this, we need to prepare two identical square pieces of colored fabric (cotton). Be sure to machine-process one edge of each square, otherwise it will fray. Not only this detail, but the entire product will lose its presentable appearance. We pin the pocket in the right places (at the back and front of the product) with sewing pins, and then stitch it. We leave unsewn only the part that we pre-processed with a machine seam.We had a piece left over from the first towel.It is from this that we will sew the handles for our beach terry bag-cover. To sew these parts, we need to cut out two strips, wide enough, since we will have to fold them in half. We bend the edges of the strips and stitch them on a sewing machine. This must be done along the entire length of the part.We pin our hands in the places where they areshould be. Now be sure to check whether the position and length of the handles of the product suits you. If everything is fine, sew on the handles using a sewing machine.Where the product should close, we sew on two buttons of any size and color, it is better to choose bright ones, as can be seen in the photo below.On the second side (on the lid of the product) we sew on loops corresponding to the size of the buttons.Sewing a beach bag from terry towelscompleted. Now you can safely go on holiday with it. It is not only aesthetically pleasing and unique, but is also a very practical product.
