I made it out some yarn I had picked up at the thrift store a long time ago, when I first decided to learn to crochet. There were two bags full of random pieces of yarn, and I got them for $3 each. The yarn was mostly acrylic and it was taking up so much space, that I decided to make this here bag. I still have some left...
I made the lining out of two of my dad's old shirts. It has two little pockets, for the phone or anything small that will go in there. I don't want to have to dive in that bag once its filled with a beach blanket, towels etc.
I love it, even if it is a bit large, its a good thing I'm tall.
