circle squares and lotta print reversible beach bag

EDITED TO ADD: I have made a full sized pattern with instructions for this bag. You can buy it or my other sewing patterns here.


circle squares and lotta print reversable beach bag, originally uploaded by Soozs.
A quickie sew for lugging towels and snacks and nappies and books and sunscreen and drink bottles and bathers and stuff up and down the dunes.

I didn't use a pattern and buggered up the bottom seams (sewed them sideways because it seemed just too obvious) and had to unpick them, but was pleased I managed to work out how to put it together so it is fully reversible.

I very much like both sides. The black and white is a heavy cotton canvas I bought as a remnant up here in Noosa from oddzandendz, the russet and cream is a linen handprinted by Lotta Jansdotta.

Will be getting much work this one.
