If you have at least minimal fabric skills and can handle a sewing machine, try creating a beach bag yourself.
First you need to decide on the material and style of the product. Any beach bag should be comfortable, durable, roomy, and, of course, beautiful. Therefore, the fabric must be selected quite dense. For example, you can sew a beach bag from raincoat fabric, denim, tapestry, linen, felt or felt. As for the coloring, it is advisable to use bright material without a catchy large pattern. A bag of
lining may be required to draw the bag from the wrong side
. In addition to material cuts, also for the manufacture of the bag you will need:
- scissors;
- pencil;
- pins
- ruler;
- graph paper;
- threads
- needles;
- sewing machine.
To decorate the product, various decorative elements are needed - straps, brooches, wooden beads, bugles, pieces of leather and suede, flowers made of satin ribbons, etc. If you plan to make a bag on a fastener, you will need zipper, rivets or buttons.
How to make a pattern of beach bags?
After acquiring all the necessary materials and tools, we get to work. Pattern beach bags is as follows. Graph paper is taken , the contour of the details of the bag is applied to it. We advise novice needlewomen to use the simplest option - draw a rectangle on paper with sides 40 and 50 cm. This element will become the basis of our product. Now draw on paper strips about 7 or 8 cm wide and 120 cm long. These details will become the handles of our beach bag. Now you know how to create a pattern of beach bags of a rectangular shape. As you can see, this is not a big deal. However, if you find it difficult to draw product details on paper yourself, you can use ready-made templates.
Transfer the pattern to the fabric.
We cut out the details of our future bag from paper - a rectangle and long stripes. Fold the fabric in half, face inward. Now we attach our rectangular blank to it so that one of its sides passes through the bend of the material. We attach the pattern to the fabric using pins. We circle with a pencil, not forgetting the indents from the edge (2 cm) and cut out a rectangular pattern from the fabric. Next, we put long strips on the fabric, circle them, making the necessary indentation, and cut out the blanks. Everything, the basis of the bag and handles are ready. Next, we will tell you how to sew a beach bag.
We create a stylish accessory with our own hands.
After cutting out the details from the fabric, we proceed to sewing. Fold the main part of the bag in half with the front side inward. The fold of material will become the bottom of the bag. Now we sew the sides of the product. We get a rectangular bag. Next, we sew over the inner seams and iron them. Then we carry out the product handles. Fold the blanks in half with the wrong side inward and tuck the edges. Stitch the parts along the edge of the edges folded together. We make a decorative stitch on the fold. Sew on the front side of the handle to the bag, combining their ends with the edges of the bag. After that, the upper edge of the bag (along with the sewn handle) we wrap inward, bend the edge and sew. If desired, we decorate the product with any decorative elements - beautiful buttons, straps, rhinestones, ribbons, braid. If necessary, sew outer pockets. Now you know how to make simple and easy women's beach bags. Good luck

You will also need two woven hand straps and a large square button for decoration. Our bag will consist of 24 square motifs. For beginners, we recommend using the following simple scheme for making a bag.
Of course, you can use any other square motif, the one you like. Gentle and very romantic look beach bags made of more complex motifs with floral patterns. So, let's look at how a crochet beach bag is made? First we knit the required number of squares. The first and subsequent motives are as follows: first we create four air loops and connect them into a ring using a connecting half-column. Next, we knit three VP necessary for lifting. We perform a single crochet (CH) column. Next, we knit two air loops and three CH. Repeat this pattern two more times. We complete the row with two air loops, one double crochet and a connecting loop. We will knit the second, third and fourth rows according to the scheme, all the time using only single crochet columns and air loops. As a result, you should get such an element.
By analogy with the first, it will be necessary to make another 23 of the same multi-colored squares.

After making all the squares, we lay them out as shown in the figure.
We take a yarn of contrasting color and fasten all the parts in turn with single crochet columns. As a result, you get such a blank.
