Beach Bags

Beach Bag I made, even though there aren't any beaches here in New Mexico, it's a great roomy bag.

This was the first beach bag I made. I used a home decor fabric which made a nice bag.  The pattern is a free pattern from Jen Eskridge, a woman who used to be a member of a small quilt group I belong to before she moved away from New Mexico. Great pattern Jen, thanks! Visit Jen's blog Reannalily Designs.

I made this beach bag to give to a woman I know who runs a no-kill cat shelter. The fabric Is called Scaredy Cats. It's a Halloween fabric of cats with witches hats on.  
Tote bag made with home decor fabric.




 I made 2 more beach bags (above) and added these photos on
7/14/11. I gave this bag to my friend Tara.

i LOVE these bags. this is a great size, its big and can hold a lot but its sturdy so items won't fall out. i like the outside pockets and the way you made the handle so it grips well. the colors are so fun. all around a real winner.
keep on toting
