My new beach bags

After making so many raggy totes, I decided it was time to make traditional totebags again. I created my version of a beach bag. They're around 18" x 19" x 5" and fully lined with pockets inside. I used vintage heavier fabrics from my mother's stash (these are from the 70s, I think.) and are washable. These are my 1st two and I washed them after making them. If you are interested, just contact me. They will go in a show this Saturday, so might be gone. I also added beach bags to our Raggy Anne blog.

    Yes, strawberries & ladybugs. From the 70s, maybe?

    I like the strawberries. Did you freehand those or do you have a pattern?

    Good thing I didn' t answer Desiree Lee's question last night! I thought you were asking about the pattern itself. The strawberries are part of the fabric. This is a vintage fabric; maybe from the 60s or 70s? I inherited my mother's large stash; I've eyed this piece for years, couldn't decide what to do with it. When I decided to make beach bags, I decided it was the perfect fit.
