Thank you for this pattern, I am going to make several for christmas gifts for my nieces. I found a bunch of bright colored over-sized towels, I just need to go back and find some cute accent towels for the pocket, then I will embroider their names on them. (have a brother machine, my best friend :O) I made the quillow’s years ago.

You can do something similar with a nightgown and a zippered “pocket” on the belly. Had one years ago, and it was described as a “sleepover pillow/nighty” You folded up the night gown, then turned it inside out into the “Pocket” which zipped closed. The one we had was a garfield decorated one. Inside out, it was warm and fuzzy.

I’m so happy that I bumped into this pattern. I saw the bag at a festival and wanted to know how to make it. I think it would make great gifts for all my grandkids.

Hi! Thanks for posting this - gave me a great item to include in a craft swap package. My bag:

http://s281.photobucket.com/albums/kk235/camelama/beachtowelbag/

The checkered tablecloth-looking thing is … a checkered tablecloth! Or rather, a remnent of one. So I folded it over and doubled again, sewed up the sides to make a sleeve with tablecloth on inside and out, and then added a flap to keep things in. You can slip it into the towel bag, and it will keep your magazines and such dry! And keep them organized on the sand and in the wind!

Oldie but Goodie: How to Make a Towel Pool Bag…

An ingenious idea - a pool bag that also becomes a full sized bathing towel. Basically it’s a beach bag, but it’s also a towel! It folds up into itself (much like a quillow) but it has handles that make it into a bag. You can throw in your sunscree…

This is such a genius idea! You could sell these for quite a profit! I plan on trying to make one of my own this summer. We have a sewing machine, but I’ve been afraid to use it since I doubt I could sew a straight line. But now I’m motivated to go for it! Great post!

That’s perfect! I’ve been thinking about what you could do to make it a pillow too.. I didn’t know they had blow-up pillows, haha. That’s crazy that it’s snowing up there.. Down here we never get snow it’s so hot!
