Giant Beach Bag

Audrey's Beach Bag Front

I got a real life visit with a friend from Savannah when I was in Orlando a few weeks ago. She was telling me that she was looking for a giant bag to take to the beach and how she wasn't happy with anything she was finding. Then she asked if I would make her one. I am a sucker and said sure, but she would have to do an IKEA fabric run on trade. That's when we discovered that there is an IKEA in Orlando! Field trip ensued. I got a few textiles and she got the stuff to make her bag. It is really big...I hope not too big. I mailed it out and hope she got it in time for her birthday this week. This bag should enjoy many trips to Tybee and the cruise planned for October. It was great to see you friend and I hope you like the bag.

  2. That is a really cute bag! Judging by your scale figure (i.e. what I'm guessing is yyour sewing machine under the red cover) that bag is enormous!

  4. Hi, I hope you respond to me on this query. I love the bag and I want to make one for myself. I live in South Africa. What are the dimensions of the bag and is it thus big enough for a family of four? If you are able, please email me on frogtree@telkomsa.net
    thank you
