The summer is upon us and we’re going to be taking vacations around this time of the year. This is the perfect item that will definitely come in handy for summer activities.

It’s the perfect size for spending the day out and about on the beach or the park. And, it’s large enough to fit all your snacks, supplies and then some.

This big beach bag is perfect for carrying your essentials for a day out in the beach or pool. They can also offer the perfect storage solution for your little one’s toys, books and other items during travel.

This tutorial will show you how easy it is to make this, and, with all of the fabulous fabric choices on today’s market you can make one that fits your style…you won’t have to settle for a store bought one like everyone else has.

I made one of these and took it to the monogram shop to have my initials put on it in a cool contrasting color. I’m proud of my beach bag! Make sure you buy a good sturdy fabric when you make one of these. They just hold up better and aren’t flimsy.
