How about if you make a convertible tote that becomes a beach mat.
(this pattern from Smart Sewing Magazine, 2nd edition, 1950)
Maybe you could figure out a way to turn a cute poncho like this into a bag...
Think outside the box, people.
What do you like to do? Picnic? Swim? Play games?
Make a bag appropriate for your uses.
There's an expression in design--form follows function.
In other words, be creative to serve your own needs.
Perhaps you need a tote for art supplies, or camera equipment.
I personally need supplies for the dogs I take to the beach, so I may journey in that direction.
What new ideas can you come up with?
WoW - what fun and cute ideas!!
ReplyDeleteMulti purpose and multi functional is the way to go!! :)
Hi,
ReplyDeleteI finished my bag and I have to say I was very inspired by the blow up bag post. It go me thinking of beach balls and how I could cut them up. From there my mind wandered to waterproofing, and then to what I ultimately decided I needed which was an insulating feature. I am going to post about it soon.
I love love love that silly pom pom trimmed poncho.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the continued inspiration, for some reason I'm having trouble getting my head around the beach bag project.
