I used pale pink fabric to make the beach bag a very thin wadding and Flexifirm (which is ideal for making this bag) you can purchase Flexirim through, just click the URL below

Applique the following designs onto the your base fabric using a zigzag stitch as seen in the photo:

Beach Houses
Curves
Surfing

I appliqued a pocket for your mobile phone using the following design “Mobile” …..as you can see in the photo above and also at the other end and in between Ice Cream and Surfing I made another pocket to put your sun glasses or what ever

Applique the following designs as in the photo:

Avalon Beach
Woody
Ice Cream

To the left is a photo of the braid I used on the awning

I stitched the braid on the fabric for the awning

Stitching the braid on the red stripes just breaks up the red stripes

I used 3 types of fabric for the base of the beach bag as seen in the enlarged photograph

I used “Grease proof paper” to stitch around the scallop

I stitched around the scallops three times, to give the scallops a nice finish

Cut Flexifirm away from the edge as not to be too thick for the seams

I used a dinner plate to make the circle template for the base of the beach bag and then used a marker ruler to get the exact circle

Attaching the circle base to the beach bag

Stitch down the top of the bag

Using the same striped fabric as on the awning I doubled the fabric and pressed with an iron so as to have a nice crisp edge

Striped fabric doubled over and pressed with an iron

I then used a straight stitch to stitch the striped fabric down

Iron a nice edge half way down the fabric then double over with a crisp edge as shown in the photo to the left.

Already to be stitched to the lining

Pockets stitched to the lining

I used three long lengths of fabric, pressed with an iron to make a nice edge to one side

Pressed with an iron both edges

Then pressed down in the centre of the fabric

I stitched close to the edge of each strip of fabric

I then plated all three stripes of fabric. Leave enough of the strips so as you can have the ends flat to stitch the handles to the beach bag

Cut the lining using the same template you used for the beach bag

Stitch the lining to your lining base

Attach the handles at each end of the beach bag

Sew the lining to your beach bag
