The fabric is about two yards of some type of bark-cloth. I have had it for many years and really never could figure out what to do with it. That is, until last weekend! I took the fabric and folded it over with right sides together and stitched all around. I left a small opening so I could turn it right side out and then pressed the seams.
I had a 50% off coupon for JoAnn Fabric Store and used that to buy some brown cotton webbing. I sewed the webbing on, sewed up the sides and viola! I now have a big roomy beach bag:

It is perfect to take our towels, sunscreen, water toys, and my purse, to the public swimming pool! Everything is hidden inside it!

In other news, I was on Mark Lipinski's Creative Mojo yesterday! I HAD to call in when I found out my friend Jaye was going to be on as a co-host. I was so nervous though! I am not great at public speaking! We even did a plug for the Creative Prompt Project. Mark's show was heavily based on creativity this week. I found it very interesting!
We are all creative in ways that we may not even realize! I was in my mid-fifties before I would admit to myself that I was, indeed, an artist, or would even define myself as an artist! You don't have to sell your creations for money in order for you to be a real artist. Like the one guest on Mark's show said, 'we are all human, therefor we are all artistic'...or something like that!

Now go sew something, or just stop and smell the roses!
