Materials needed
Fabric: Percale, sail cloth, denim, terry cloth, or towel. If you use a towel, select one approximately 14 x 23 or 18 x 28.
Lining: Plastic bag.
Cording: Cotton or nylon cording.
Make your bag
First decide how long and how wide you would like to have your bag. Make it just large enough for the purpose you plan to use it for. Don’t make it too large.
Follow these suggestions
1. Pull threads to straighten material and cut on these lines.
2. Cut two pieces of cloth for the bag, the size you want your bag to be. If you have enough cloth, you may cut one piece twice as long and eliminate the bottom seam. When a towel is used, remove the hems at both ends.
3. Place the two pieces with right sides together or fold through the center if one piece is used.
