Beach Bag Number Two

There goes another piece of fabric gone out of my stash. It has been there since about 2001 when I made school cushions out of it. The only problem I had sewing this fabric was my straight stitching went wonky when using both my Juki and Bernina 801. The sewing machines didn't like it.

Probably though I needed new needles or a much better thread for both machines (I used overlocking). In the end after unpicking my wonky stitches I persevered and sewed the bag with my old Bernina 801.

For this bag I bought the strapping, the canvas
fabric was too thick to make straps with
Because I sewed with yellow thread
I had to unpick the wonky stitches..

    This is truly the perfect beach bag. So cute. Much cuter made up than sitting in the stash pile ;)

    Yes better used than just left there year after year...Even though it's not waterproof it will be good for carrying towels.
