+++This is a measure and cut pattern which means that there are NO TEMPLATES to print off and match up- Yay! You need a rotary cutter, ruler and mat and you can cut the pattern pieces straight from the fabric. This is easier than it sounds because the pieces are all simple squares and rectangles plus one very easy circle.

When you buy this pattern, you have my permission to make this bag to sell- no mass production allowed of course but a few to sell at craft fairs or online, that sort of thing is fine. All I ask is that you credit me as the designer. I wish you all the success in the world with sales!

All measurements are in INCHES.

There is something essentially romantic about a retro dilly bag for the beach. This one is not overly large – it doesn’t fit a huge towel in but it is perfectly sized for the essentials – a drink, sunscreen and a good read. It has room for a cover-up too and other things which make the beach a happy place. Not going to the beach? Doesn’t matter, feel like life on a tropical island and take this one shopping! It has a drawstring cord which turns it into a shoulder bag and some handy pockets allow for the needs of a shopping trip.

Pattern Rating: intermediate sewist with some knowledge of techniques assumed. Some simple shaping of the base disk required.
