Pool Bag Sewing Tutorial

Next up in our Summer Sewing Series we have Holly from Bits of Everything. She is sharing with us the free pool bag sewing tutorial!  

Pool Bag Sewing Tutorial and Free Pattern by Bits of Everything

I swear I think I can never have enough pool bags!! I’m pretty hard on them and it seems like I go through one a year, but thats kinda okay for me because it gives me the excuse to make a new bag each summer!

 

I absolutely adore this pool bag by Holly at Bits of Everything. I love that it has LOTS of pockets on the outside of teh bag. Heaven knows I’m always digging around the bottom of my pool bag looking for chapstick or sunscreen. These outer pockets are totally cute and useful!

The bag is also quite roomy, I think I counted 7 beach towels inside? Now that’s a great bag!!

  • Was anyone else absolutely smitten with Gilbert Blythe growing up? I think at one point I convinced myself I was going to marry him 😂😂😂. Riley Blake has a new Anne of Green Gables fabric line (by @zippyboro ) and I jumped at the chance to make something with it! I LOVED those books and the tv show so much growing up. I decided to update my Reading Pillow pattern (I posted the first one waaay back in 2011) - a lot of you guys have asked for a basic pattern over the years (no piping or zippers) and I’m happy to oblige. I also added a second size option too! Hop on over to the blog for more info - you can also now buy a printable pattern (with 5 different pillow patterns in TVs shop). Just click the link in my bio. . . #rileyblake #rileyblakedesigns #readingpillow #readingpillows #kindredspiritsfabric #sewistsofinstagram #quiltsofinstagram #sewingtutorial
  • I’m missing #quiltmarket (my son is graduating this weekend - so it’s a great reason to miss!!), but I did stitch up a few things with a new fabric line to display! My next line launches in October with @rileyblakedesigns and it’s inspired by one of my daughters favorite movies when she was small. Can you guess which one? This Party Hat Mini quilt is actually my #santashatshop quilt pattern with the bottom band left off. It was such an easy adjustment I don’t know why I didn’t think of it earlier! Swipe to get a preview of the line and if you’re at quilt market make sure you stop by the Riley Blake booth and say “hi” for me! (Patterns: Santa’sHat Shop - Ruby Lou Bag - Derby Tote all in my shop - click my bio then click the shop button — shop.polkadotchair.com) #rileyblakedesigns
  • I’m in love with this March Bag stitched up for quilt market by @cindycloward ! That fabric is ❤️❤️. Also I think I need bags to match all my outfits now :) You can find the pattern in my shop - shop.polkadotchair.com (I used to be able to tag my patterns here but insta seems to hate me this week 😂😂) . . . #rileyblake #rileyblakedesigns #handmadebags #bagpattern
  • Happy Mother’s Day to all the Moms and “Moms at heart” out there! As someone who struggled in the past with infertility and pregnancy loss I know that today is not an easy day for everyone. I hope whatever your situation that you are able to find some joy today! ❤️
  • I’ve been blogging for over 12 years and have realized that sometimes you’ve just got to try something new so you don’t go crazy! I still might go crazy but at least I’m trying not to right ? 😂😂😂 I thought for my latest fabric line, Fox Farm 🦊 it would be fun to make a video lookbook instead of uploading a million photos to the blog. We will see how it goes 😂. Check out the video by clicking the link in my bio. . . . #polkadotchair #polkadotchairpatterns #foxfarmfabric #rileyblakedesigns #melissamortenson
  • The Kentucky Derby is tomorrow and sadly we are not going! 😢 I’m excited though to watch the race from my couch, curled up with this Derby Sampler quilt, and a slice of Derby Pie! 🐎🐎🐎This quilt is one of my favorites! If not my most favorite! It’s so fun to stitch up with its variety of blocks and techniques- you won’t get bored! ✂️ - If I start feeling nostalgic I might have to share a few Derby and Oaks flashbacks on my story today and tomorrow. If you’re at the track today or tomorrow have fun and stay dry! . . . #rileyblake #rileyblakedesigns #derbydayfabrics #quiltsofinstagram #quiltersofinstagram #quiltblocks #quiltingfun

    I ran across Polkadot Chair this morning while searching for some beginner quilt projects. Have sewn all my life but have never made a quilt. I was very intrigued with the assortment of items you had on your site! I’ve signed up to receive your emails & am looking forward to the many ideas that I’ll enjoy. I’m retired in Texas & finding an assortment of things to try. Thanks again for having a simple site for beginner quilters. I also enjoyed the Pool tote & the other pretty tote bags to make too.
