Super Simple Beach Bag

*some sewing experience required* Have you ever felt the need to go to the beach, but had no beach bag to put your towel in? That will never happen again thanks to The Super Simple Beach Bag! I made this a while ago, so I don't have pictures of me actually making the bag, but hopefully you can still understand my instructions.

Step 1: Gather your materials and Tools

For this beach bag you will need...
      a piece of Oil Cloth cut to 40" x 22"
      *optional*  21" by 8" of Oil Cloth
      64" of strap material
      binder clips
      a sewing machine with a Teflon or Roller presser foot
      and  some white thread

If you don't have a Teflon or roller presser foot you can put tissue paper between the foot an the fabric or masking tape on the bottom of your presser foot. If you try to sew on the front of the Oil Cloth with out a proper foot it will stick to the Oil cloth and make a mess.

Great tip about masking tape on the presser foot, thanks!

Thanks, I just may. I have been checking my Email from the library computers, and the time there is limited, but I should have enough money soon to pay for a domestic ISP.

Nice job! I've made dozens of bags but have never worked with oilcloth. Thanks for the tip about the presser foot.

My Mother made a bag for my set of marbles when I was a child by taking a cut off leg from a pair of jeans, turning it inside out, and sewing up the frayed end, then turning it right side out again.

That sounds cool, you should make an Instructables on it!
