Free Beach Bag Sewing Pattern – lots of pockets, holds towels

Learn how to make a beach bag with a free sewing pattern. This bag sewing project is great to hold everything for the pool or the beach! Heather designed this for a family of swimmers who needed a bag that could do it all — carry lots of things, have lots of different pockets for organizing, and carry towels too. What started as a simple large tote ended up packed with features once she thought through everything a real beach bag needs.

The difference between a tote you use once and a beach bag you reach for every Saturday is pockets — this one has the pockets.

What you’ll want on hand

• Canvas duck fabric (2 yards) — sand-resistant and structures the bag without interfacing
• YKK 14-inch nylon coil zippers (3 pack) — salt-air-tolerant for the pocket closures
• Clover Wonder Clips (50 pack) — hold canvas layers where pins won’t go through
