This Bag Transforms into a Beach Towel with Integrated Cushion! Discover the Tutorial Here.
Here is a great tutorial that explains how to recycle a bath towel in beach towel with integrated pillow.
Originality? Buttons that allow you to fold up the beach towel and to carry it in a bag.
This beach bag even has pockets to carry your sunscreen and your favorite book!
Don't worry, this homemade project is really easy to do, even for people who only have basic sewing skills.
What you need
- 2 terry towels (new or old, it doesn't matter)
- a flap pillow
How to do
1. Take one of the towels and spread it out in front of the pillow.
2. Then, cut the edges of the towel, so that it is a little wider than the pillow (if necessary, you can always reduce the width later).
3. Take the other towel and wrap it around the pillow. Take care to leave a strip of the towel protruding along the bottom of the pillow.
Keep the cutouts that will be used to make the handles of the bag.
4. Remove the pillow and sew the first side.
5. Then, sew the second towel along the bottom of the pillow.
6. And now, it's time for the edging! Take six pieces of fabric and sew them together to make a strip the same length as the towel.
7. Fold the strip in half along its entire length.
8. Then, cut it lengthwise to make two equal strips.
9. Fold each strip in half and iron them.
10. Always with your iron, prepare a tuck of 1 cm on each side of the two bands, and this, over their entire length.
11. Sew the two strips on each side of the napkin.
12. Now roll up the pillow and towel to locate the pockets and handles of the bag.
13. Pin and sew the pockets on each side of the bag.
14. To make the handles, use the scraps of the towel that you cut to the width of the pillow.
Choose the dimensions of the handles that suit you. For my beach bag, I used handles that were 78 cm long and 15 cm wide.
15. Sew the handles.
16. Sew on the buttons ...
17. … And finally, sew the buttonholes!
