If you go to the link below you'll find yourself drowning in patterns for everything under the sun.
Make sure you make yourself a cuppa and allow a couple of hours to browse and download.
Or just sign up for the newsletter and receive 10 patterns every day, such fun!!!
Hugs n roses, Meganne

I have made one, with tropical fish and coral.
saw one on E-Bay from Lullu Guinness and it went for 130-00 pounds second hand.
so took pictures of it and have incorporated some of her ideas, with some small embroidered fish on it too, with some metal thread used and some small metal fish hand sewn on.Found those on E-bay for sale. Never made a bag before, so a challenge but Love it, too scared to use it now lol, incase it gets dirty.

Embroidery Library, once again. They have the most gorgeous sea stuff, here's the link to the section. If you're going to purchase anything, join their Christmas Club first, because that way you'll get credit from your purchases toward designs. Enjoy, hugs, Marji

Since you know where to go for the designs, I will tell you that we made totes for beach bags out of pet window screening. (It cannot be ruined by pets claws.) You can embroider on the screen or put a strip of solid fabric along the sides. Just be sure to use screening on the bottom so water can drip out. Use bias binding along the seams and top. EmbLibrary has a tutorial on it called "Fabrics 101: Embroidering On Screen".

I purchased my Beach Bag pattern from "Sealed with a Stitch" it also uses Pet Screen. It has no fabric on the bottom so that the sand falls out so you don't have to take it home with you also has a small beg for the inside and directions to make a towel that has a hiding spot for your keys and such. My favorite one so far. Hugs & Stitches, Liz
