Sewing Quick Tip:
Before preshrinking your next length of fabric, try laundering just a swatch of it first. Some fabrics can change color or texture after being laundered and you may not like how your particular fabric is affected.

Sewing Quick Tip:
Use Pins with Larger Heads:

Sew a bag for your next trip to the beach
with this collection of over a dozen free
beach bag patterns & tutorials gathered
from all over the web.
And because a beach bag often consists
of simple shapes and is quick to make, it
can be an ideal first project for a beginner
just learning how to sew.

advantage of being see-through (to help
you more easily find your items).
