A beach mat is an accessory that should be comfortable and pleasant. appearance. When purchasing a model with the possibility of transformation, consider those factors in the presence of which the rest will be comfortable. Beach bags and backpacks are popular this summer.

Bags bags can be both small and voluminous enough - to put a rug in them without any problems.

Manufacturers always focus on the material of the product, which must meet all the requirements of a beach holiday. For example, natural fabrics such as cotton and linen are not at all suitable as the basis for a rug. Today, designers use such raw materials to create fashionable beach bags for sun loungers:

• nylon;
• oilcloth;
• raincoat fabric;
• foam rubber sheathed with synthetic material.

Despite the fact that the listed bases for bags are simple, they also have a rich color scheme. Nylon perfectly protects the product from fading, such bags are produced in yellow, orange, blue and other bright colors.

Subconsciously, the girl chooses the color that will be associated with relaxation, but this does not mean that you should strictly adhere to this canon. Choose a bag according to your mood, a swimsuit and a hat.

Oilcloth is a suitable raw material for protecting the product from water. If moisture accidentally gets on the bag, there is no fear that the contents will get wet. Raincoat fabric will also reliably protect the inside of the transformer beach bag from liquid materials.

The model is made of foam rubber, sheathed in fabric. great option for a soft rug. Resting on such a product is a pleasure.

Also, bamboo rods, straw and soft-coated latex are used as a material for rugs. The latter option serves as the basis for inflatable products - pillows and sun loungers.

Choose those models that will not stick to the body. Under the influence of moisture and the sun, some materials can melt, which causes discomfort to the vacationer.

From year to year summer fashion brings new surprises. Today, as before, bright models of bags remain in the trend. The beach version of the product provides for the presence of natural images, as well as ethnic motifs. We offer to consider the most popular color combinations:

1. Dark stripe on a bright background. A good choice is a yellow bag with brown stripes. Since most swimsuits are made of bright material, this bag will be appropriate for relaxing on the beach. In this case, the rug can be made of any material, it is important that it also harmonizes with the swimsuit in color.
2. Rainbow palette. Another option is a bag with fabric inserts. different colors. This is a combination of pink, green, yellow and blue shades on one product.

To make this accessory is not difficult. You must first determine the size of the product. The length of the rug should be equal to the height of the resting person, and the width is measured based on the size of the half-girth of the shoulder area. Don't forget to stock up on some fabric.

The principle of sewing the product is to attach the mat to the outside of the bag in such a way that when it is closed, the beach accessory is inside. Buttons, zippers or carabiners are used as fasteners. Don't forget to equip the bag with comfortable long handles, and add decorative details to give the product an individual style.

Popular today, bags for relaxing on the beach should have every girl planning a vacation at sea. Such a stylish accessory will not only complete summer look but also practical and convenient.

On the video: how to sew a bag for the beach with your own hands.

You can sew a summer bag from almost any fabric in a variety of color combinations.

The sewing process will take literally a couple of hours, so if you devote only one evening to this process, in the morning you will be able to show off on the sea with a brand new, hand-made accessory.

We sew with our own hands from ordinary fabric

For the first model you will need:

• the main material is 70x140 cm in size (we have a cotton fabric with black and white stripes);
• lining material (we have pink crepe satin). The size is the same;
• synthetic winterizer for laying;
• rep tape;
• "zipper" for pockets (if you plan to make them);
• elastic band (it is better to take a width of 1.5 cm).

Do not forget about scissors, thread, pattern paper, chalk, ruler, pencil, safety pins. Clean and dry your sewing machine before starting work.

A synthetic winterizer is needed for laying, because we will sew a pillow bag. You will appreciate its advantages over the usual "sack" as soon as you get to the pebble beach.
Sewing in a synthetic winterizer will make the sewing process just a few minutes longer, but the finished product will be more functional.

Pattern

You can immediately cut out the details on the fabric by drawing it with a ruler and chalk into pieces of the desired size. But it is better to use the good old method - a paper pattern.

Detail dimensions:

1) Front and back of the bag(2 pieces), 36x40 (height * width) or one with a fold - 72x40 (length * width).

Here you need to add 5 cm in width on each side - for the side parts, so as not to cut a separate part. Thus, you will get either 2 rectangles 46x40 cm, or one rectangle 82x40 cm.

2) Bottom- rectangle 36x9 cm.

3) Pens- 100x2 cm (length * width). This is conditional, you can make handles of any length and width, to your taste.

Don't forget about seam allowances when cutting fabric pieces.. Leave 1.5 cm for them on each side.
We cut out all the details, except for the handles, the same, both from the main one and from lining fabric. The synthetic winterizer does not need to be cut.

Instructions (steps in the photo)

We duplicate the front and back sides of the bag with synthetic winterizer. We do the same with the bottom. To do this, you must first pin the part to the padding polyester, and then stitch them together.

Do not forget to cut off the extra padding polyester from the allowances, you don’t need extra thickening.

1. Sew the back and front sides together.
2. All seams are ironed out.
3. On the narrow side of the bottom, mark the middle and align it with the side seam of the bag (both sides).
4. Stitch everything together, synthetic winterizer, if there is an extra one, cut it off.
5. Iron the seams.
6. Turn the material inside out - you should get a rectangular bag, as in the last picture.

You need to sew exactly the same bag from the lining fabric.

For pockets, you need to “by eye” cut out details of suitable sizes from the lining fabric. One pocket is usually fastened with a zipper, we have already provided for its presence.

Finish the edges of the pocket details so that they do not fray. Sew a “zipper” into one, baste them. Choose the location yourself, where it will be convenient for you. Sew the pockets to the inner "pouch" of the bag. Turn out, iron.

You can also add an elastic band that will act as a "holder" for combs, water, etc.

How will it look like.

Pens

We have indicated the conditional length of the handles, but you can choose the one that will be convenient for you - longer or shorter.

They are made simply.
We cut out strips of the desired length from the fabric, iron the allowances inward, chop off, tack, close the allowances, sewing a rep ribbon on them - the handles are ready.

We tuck the ends of the handles with the “square” sewing technique, attach them to the bag.

We put the inner "pouch" into the outer one - inside out to the wrong side, we chop it together (look at the photo on the right), sew them together. We advise you to lay a double line along the edge of the bag - this will not allow it to “bubble”. In addition, the additional fastening of the lining has not bothered anyone yet.

You can decorate the product as you see fit. For example, we used a ribbon bow brooch, but there can be a great many options.

You saw the image of the resulting masterpiece at the very beginning of the article under the main heading.

How to sew from old jeans?

From old pants that are a pity to throw away, you can make many different useful gizmos. The simplest is shorts with your own hands. We are also interested in a summer denim bag, so let's get to work.

For the second model you need:

• old jeans;
• lining fabric;
• "lightning";
• rep tape;
• pattern paper, ruler, pencil;
• chalk, thread, needles;
• decorations - sequins, buttons, beads, bows, applications, etc., to your taste.

Take care of the sewing machine before starting work: lubricate it, clean it, replace the needle in it, if necessary, with a thicker one suitable for denim.

Cutting denim

This model, like the previous one, consists of several parts:

1) Two halves - side and front- size 49x40x30 (bottom width * top width * height).

2) One piece for sides and bottom- a strip 90 cm long, 9 cm wide.

3) Pen 85 cm long, 4 cm wide. You can also lengthen or shorten the handle, as well as make three pieces - one long and 2 short ones.

4) Top of the bag, consisting of a denim ribbon - 2 strips 60 cm long, 3 cm wide.

When cutting out, do not forget about seam allowances - 1-1.5 cm. We advise you to iron the parts with steam after preparations, so that it is more convenient to work with them.

How to sew?

We start by attaching a "zipper" to the details of the top of the bag. Then they need to be sewn to the front and back.

The next step is to sew in the strip (sidewall + bottom). We iron the seams.

Let's move on to the handles.

You can choose any length, make one or more. In our case, it is one - 85 cm long and 4 cm wide.

We cut it out of the fabric, tuck it, iron it and sew it on. We put a rep tape on top of the sewn allowances, closing them. Sew the finished handle to the front and back of the bag.

Final stage

We cut out the lining in the same way as the outer part of the product. We sew the details, we tack to the top of the outer part.

It is better to sew the lining by hand, but you can also use a typewriter if the handles and clasp do not interfere with you.

You can see the finished version in the photo. We use decorations (beads, sequins, appliqués) according to our taste.

Carpet bag

The transformer is very convenient because it allows you to fit everything you need for a seaside holiday, as well as turn into a beach mat.

What you need for the third model:

• bright cotton fabric;
• waterproof material;
• braid;
• needles, thread, chalk, pattern paper, scissors, sewing machine;
• for decoration it is better to use fabric applications.

Pattern and dimensions of parts

You need two pieces of fabric 160 cm long and 55 cm wide. Let one piece be from bright fabric, and the second from waterproof material - varnish.
Also stock up on 4 pieces of foam rubber measuring 50x39 cm, tape for handles and ties about 5 meters long and 5 cm wide.

You can do patch pockets, or you can not do it - at your discretion. We do not give patterns for them, since you will choose their size and shape yourself.

Guide to action

From the braid you need to cut 8 segments - 5 cm long. These are the future ties for the sidewalls.

Pockets

If you decide to make pockets, then sew them on the piece of fabric used for the front of the bag. Just make sure that they are not sewn onto the folds of the future bag.

The upper sections of the pockets can be processed with braid or simply seams "in the hem".

Ties

Sew them along the long edges of the "bright" part, attaching them from the wrong side. To properly attach them, fold the future bag along the folds, and sew on the ribbons at the top and bottom - opposite each other so that you can tie them together.

Almost done

Once the foam is in place, stitch the open cut. Don't forget to tuck the seam allowances inward. Lay a line between each piece of foam rubber so that they do not move and do not “run into” each other.

Pens

Process the ends of the remaining braid, tuck and sew to the top with a “square”. You can also make handles from the remnants of bright fabric for the front of the product. But in this case, they need to be sewn in immediately, along with ribbons for ties, on the wrong side of the “front” piece of fabric.

Every modern lady, preparing for the beach season, tries to foresee everything and think over even the most insignificant little things at first glance. And most importantly - where to put these little things. It is at this moment that you should think about a roomy and comfortable beach bag. An irreplaceable item can be bought in a store or ordered online. But in order to remain original and stand out among vacationers, best solution will sew a beach bag with his own hands.

Today we offer to consider several options for hand-made bags for the beach. The given master classes on tailoring beautiful and stylish accessories useful not only for beginner needlewomen, but also for experienced dressmakers.

Features of beach bags

Before you get down to business, check out some recommendations for choosing beach bags:

1. Size and capacity. Going ashore, you should definitely take water, a small snack, a magazine or a book, a wallet, a towel, a swimsuit, a rug, keys, mobile phone, sunglasses and other necessary things. And if children also go to the beach with you, then the list of necessary items immediately increases several times. That is why the bag for the beach should be roomy.
2. Convenience and practicality. The bag should be light in weight. You should also pay attention to the handles: they should be of sufficient length so that you can carry the bag on your shoulder. It is very good if at least one inside pocket is available. It is necessary for important little things: keys, mobile phone, a small amount of money, etc.

1. Material. Undoubtedly, when sewing a bag, you should use the right material. One that will protect the contents from high temperature, sand, moisture. The most durable fabric should be selected for the handles. They should not stretch, tear or cut into the shoulder.
2. Color decision. For a summer beach bag, bright and cheerful colors are suitable. Dark and black tones, although practical in terms of pollution, attract the sun's rays. Too light plain bags will quickly become dirty and look not so elegant. Therefore, multi-colored fabric with various patterns is perfect for sewing a beach accessory. A stylish solution would be to sew a bag to match the swimsuit or tunic.

Currently, designers offer a huge variety of models of beach bags. Let us dwell on the most common, convenient and simple models in terms of manufacturing.

Package bag

As you can understand from the name of the model, this option resembles a regular grocery bag. The pattern is easy to build - you can simply attach a regular bag from the store to the fabric, circle and cut along the contours. Particular attention should be paid to the corners on the bottom.

This bag is roomy and very comfortable. But it can hardly be worn on the shoulder, since the handles are not long enough.

Semicircular bag

No less comfortable and original will be a bag sewn from rags bright colors. The proposed pattern can be increased or decreased depending on the desired size of the finished accessory. The length of the handles can also be adjusted. As a fastener, sew on a large button and a long loop that will be thrown over the top. Decorative stitching with bright contrasting threads will add personality to your work.

Carpet bag

A convenient solution is a bag model that unfolds into a mat (litter) for sunbathing. This model does not require additional stitching. You can assemble (fold) such a handbag using buttons, buttons or Velcro. It's called an origami bag.

To ensure quick folding, lines should be made at the folds, and the accessory should be assembled on them. When unfolded, it can be used as a sun mat.

Simple models from recycled materials

To make original bag for the beach, no special skills and abilities are required. It is enough to show a little imagination and take a little time - and a stylish thing is ready.

Pay attention to the model, sewn from a regular door mat. Fold it in half, sew (even by hand) on both sides, and use a thick cord with knots at the ends as handles. You can decorate the bag with a patch or a bright patch.

Surely no one will guess what a delicate bag with flounces is made of! In fact, everything is very simple - from old skirt with frills. You just need to make one seam on the bottom (sew the bottom frill) and sew on the handles. Romantic natures will definitely like such an original model.

From denim are strong and stylish models bags. For such an accessory, any old jeans will do.

Step by step job description:

1. Prepare jeans for further work: wash, dry and iron.
2. Cut the legs into strips 8-10 cm wide.
3. Lay several long pieces close together on a flat surface and fasten them together with safety pins or stitches.
4. Next, stretch the remaining strips, making the weave. At the beginning and at the end of the row, secure the ends of the strips so that the workpiece does not move.
5. When 2 such interlaced fabrics are ready, sew them from the wrong side on three sides.
6. Sew handles on top. For reliability, sew in several places.

The proposed models of beach bags are not difficult to sew, and as a result, comfortable and beautiful accessories are obtained that can complement the image and emphasize the individuality of their happy owner.

A beach bag is not only roomy and comfortable, but also beautiful accessory. He can complement any image and emphasize the beauty of his mistress. It is not always on sale that you can find just such a thing that is ideal and will satisfy all requests. Therefore, we suggest that you try to sew a beach bag yourself or crochet it.

Bright summer bag. We prepare the necessary materials and tools

If you have at least minimal fabric skills and know how to handle a sewing machine, try creating a beach bag yourself.

First you need to decide on the material and style of the product. Any Beach bag should be comfortable, durable, roomy, and, of course, beautiful. Therefore, the fabric must be selected sufficiently dense. For example, you can sew a beach bag from raincoat fabric, denim, tapestry, linen, felt or felt. As for the colors, it is advisable to use bright material without a catchy large pattern. To decorate a bag from the wrong side, you may need a piece. In addition to cuts of material, you will also need to make a bag:

• scissors;
• pencil;
• pins;
• ruler;
• graph paper;
• threads;
• needles;
• sewing machine.

To decorate the product, various decorative elements are needed - straps, brooches, wooden beads, glass beads, pieces of leather and suede, flowers from satin ribbons etc. If you plan to make a bag with a zipper, you will need a zipper, rivets or buttons.

How is a beach bag pattern made?

After purchasing all necessary materials and tools, let's get to work. The pattern is performed as follows. The contour of the details of the bag is taken on it. We advise beginner needlewomen to use the most simple option- draw a rectangle on paper with sides of 40 and 50 cm. This element will become the basis of our product. Now draw on paper strips about 7 or 8 cm wide and 120 cm long. These details will become the handles of our beach bag. Now you know how to create a rectangular beach bag pattern. As you can see, there is nothing complicated in this. However, if you find it difficult to draw the details of the product on paper yourself, you can use ready-made templates.

Transferring the pattern to the fabric

We cut out the details of our future bag from paper - a rectangle and long strips. Fold the fabric in half, right side inward. Now we apply our rectangular blank to it in such a way that one of its sides passes along the bend of the material. We attach the pattern to the fabric with pins. We circle with a pencil, not forgetting about the margins from the edge (2 cm) and cut out a rectangular pattern from the fabric. Next, we place long strips on the fabric, circle them, making the necessary indents, and cut out the blanks. Everything, the base of the bag and handles are ready. Next, we will tell you how to sew a beach bag.

We create a stylish accessory with our own hands

After cutting out the details from the fabric, we start sewing. Fold the main part of the bag in half with the front side inward. The fold of the material will become the bottom of the bag. Now we sew the sides of the product. We get a rectangular bag. Next, we overcast the internal seams and iron them. Then we make the handles of the product. Fold the blanks in half wrong side inward and tuck the edges. We sew the details along the edge of the edges folded together. We make a decorative stitch along the fold. We sew on the front side of the handle to the bag, combining their ends with the edges of the bag. After that, we wrap the upper edge of the bag (together with the sewn handle) inward, fold the edge and sew. If desired, we decorate the product with any decorative elements - beautiful buttons, straps, rhinestones, ribbons, braid. If necessary, sew on the outer pockets. Now you know how to make women's beach bags simple and easy. Good luck!

Another interesting idea is a denim accessory.

If you have old unwanted jeans, be sure to try to give them a second life by making an interesting beach bag out of them. You will get a unique stylish thing, spending a minimum of money and effort. In addition to old denim pants, you will need scissors, thread, a sewing machine, decorative patches, beads, buckles and ribbons.

Having prepared everything you need, get to work. Jeans beach bags are very easy to make. First you need to determine the depth of the product. If you want to sew a bag that is not too bulky, feel free to cut off both legs along the line passing just below the back pockets. Next, turn the workpiece inside out, and then sweep and grind the seam on a typewriter. The bottom of the bag is ready. Now turn the product inside out and front side sew decorative stitching on the bottom seam. For this work, it is desirable to choose threads to match the denim.

Working with her beach is very simple!

Make the handle of the product from a long piece of denim. Cut a strip of the required length with a width of 7-8 cm. Fold it three times and stitch along the entire length. Then sew the handle to the bag, placing the ends on opposite sides of the product. Here is such an original beach bag we got from old pants (photo).

Decorate the product as you wish with fringe, beads, beads and any other decorative elements. Such an exclusive beach bag will make your look more attractive and interesting!

Crochet a bag

A stylish beach accessory can not only be sewn, but also crocheted. It is especially simple and easy to do this by making several separate square motifs, and then joining them together and tying them with single crochets.

In order to make a capacious beach bag, you will need 300 g of yarn and hook number 4. Knitting threads can be purchased in different colors - then your bag will turn out to be brighter and more attractive. You will also need two braided straps for the handles and a large square button for embellishment. Our bag will consist of 24 square motifs. Beginners are advised to use the following to make a bag a simple circuit.

Of course, you can use any other square motif you like. Beach bags made of more complex motifs look gentle and very romantic. So, let's look at how a crochet beach bag is made? First we knit the required number of squares. We perform the first and subsequent motives as follows: first we create four air loops and connect them into a ring using a connecting half-column. Next, we knit three VPs necessary for lifting. We carry out a column with one crochet (CH). Next, we knit two air loops and three CH. We repeat this pattern two more times. We complete the row with two air loops, one double crochet and a connecting loop. We will knit the second, third and fourth rows according to the scheme, all the time using only single crochet and air loops. As a result, you should get something like this.

By analogy with the first, it will be necessary to make 23 more of the same multi-colored squares.

We continue to crochet a beach accessory

After making all the squares, lay them out as shown in the figure.

We take yarn of a contrasting color and fasten all the details in turn with single crochets. As a result, you will get something like this.

We tie the edges of the bag with double crochets and attach strap handles. If desired, decorate the product with a bright large button. That's all, a bright and beautiful crochet beach bag is made. As you can see, making such an interesting and practical accessory is not difficult at all! The main thing is to devote enough time to work and stick to the proposed scheme.

Beach mat-bag

We bring to your attention another very convenient and spectacular model of a beach bag, which can serve not only as a container for things, but also as a comfortable rug. To make it, you will need to prepare beige yarn 225 m / 50 g and hook No. 2.5. You will also need a synthetic winterizer (45x65 cm), thick fabric and buttons - 6 pcs. Start work by creating 130 VPs. Work the first and subsequent rows with single crochets, remembering to make the necessary lifting loops. When the product reaches 40 cm in height, complete knitting. You will get a rectangular piece. Now tie the handles. To do this, perform 6 air loops. Work all rows in single crochet stitches, increasing by 2 ch at the beginning of each row.

When the handle reaches a height of 60 cm, complete knitting, fasten and break the thread. By analogy, perform the second same part. Sew the handles to the rectangular blank from two sides. Cut pieces of synthetic winterizer and fabrics that fit the size of the knitted fabric. Put a synthetic winterizer on a rectangular blank first, and then the material, carefully sew them to the base. Now fold the bag in half. On one side, sew three buttons on each side, and on the other - loops from chains of air loops. For the manufacture of each chain, you need to dial about 35-40 VP. That's all, a gorgeous beach mat-bag is ready!

Instead of a conclusion

As you can see, making a modern, stylish and original accessory with your own hands is not at all difficult. The main thing is to get everything you need and devote some time to creativity. And the pattern of beach bags is quite simple. We hope our advice, photos and detailed descriptions work will help to make a beautiful accessory that will definitely become the highlight of your wardrobe.
