I made this today. I’m a beginner (sewing for a few days) and found this easy to follow. Took me longer than an hour but so happy with the results. Thank you!

[@creativespark7371]

Thank you for sharing! I love this bag! The only change I will make for the bag I will sew is to sew a square with an “x” inside to secure the handles.

[@maggiestrain6057]

Made this today as my first sewing project after a lonnnng hiatus. Thank you for making such a fun and easy tutorial! This took all the guesswork out of it and now I can go to the pool in style 😎

[@axtmanlaura]

Thank you!

[@zayedranda1401]

Thank you so much ❤

[@terribrown3060]

Hi Only just learning to sew and thought I’d show you my adapted version of your bag. Sadly can’t add photos on here for some reason 🥴 Made with a shower curtain inside and out so is completely waterproof. I backed the outer layer with stiffened material to make it a bit more rigid then added the lining and put the pockets on the outside to take sandy shoes/ flip flops etc. Not perfect but I am really chuffed with my first attempt .Thank you for your easy to follow video 😊

[@Sarah-se3rn]

Vor zwei Jahren genäht und noch immer jedes mal dankbar für dein Schnittmuster - sie sind bei mir als Einkaufstaschen in Verwendung und egal wieviel ich kaufe, es passt immer alles rein❤

[@aglam3018]

[@sirilindsveen9576]

Thanks for the quick and easy tutorial! I already had plans for making a beach bag, maybe I’ll follow this now 😃 And I’ve made sooo many knitting bags without knowing about the trick of drawing squares in the corners to get straight edges, so thank you, haha! 😅

[@sososewing2001]

thank you so much!! ☺️ I‘d love to see yours if you make one! haha you’re welcome! 😄

[@sirilindsveen9576]

sososewing I’ll make sure to tag you if I do!!

[@Keshia_ZaziKCreations]

@sososewing I plan to make this bag within the next week, but what's the best type of fabric to use?

[@lisalightsupthesky]

You can use any sturdy fabric, I like to use canvas / cotton duck.

[@mechellechea-trietiak2477]

Thank you for this bag. What's the seam allowance used?

[@pushparajapakse1996]

❤

[@pamelabloor850]

I made your beach bag, but I'm having trouble with sewing on the straps. Where exactly do they get sewn on and how? I thought I followed the directions, but the handles ended up on the inside of the bag in between the liner and the main fabric. Can you help please? Thanks!

[@Keshia_ZaziKCreations]

I can’t figure out the straps on this. I got all the way to the end and my straps are basted to the outside of outer layer and the inner layer is in side the outer layer right side facing. No idea what happened here? Please help somebody.

[@dalee041790]

how far down do you attach the pocket piece to the lining? it doesn't appear to be pinned equal distance from top to bottom

[@mariellamayra2553]

I did 5 inches from the bottom and it worked out perfectly!!

[@AmazingStitchbyLipsa]

Iam following you from insta to yt and i love your work I hope u work so hard in future and do you best

[@susanstrauss606]

22” w x 20” h?

[@MaggieHouk]

How many yards of fabric do you need

[@1thess416and17]

Please what is the box corner measurement?

[@zetabridgeman1365]

7cm x 7cm

[@nancejack56]

What’s a centimeter? I only know inches🫤cute bag❤️

[@user-yq2ur4ef6h]

I am used to cm I had to convert cm to inches. 😂😂

[@ratnacook56]

the way you saying wasn't clear for the corner square, how many cm or Inch ? also you didnt put the note for us to see it. thanks for sharing anyway

[@zetabridgeman1365]

7cm x 7cm

[@carriecoupon9369]

I am going to make this later tonight however you never gave any seam allowance when you were sewing

[@Keshia_ZaziKCreations]

I can’t figure out the straps on this. I got all the way to the end and my straps are basted to the outside of outer layer and the inner layer is in side the outer layer right side facing. No idea what happened here? Please help somebody.

[@mariellamayra2553]

Were you able to figure it out?

[@Keshia_ZaziKCreations]

@@mariellamayra2553 I did. Thanks.
