Sophia Swim Tote – The perfect beach carry-all
Here is an absolutely fantastic pdf sewing pattern to make a perfect beach carry-all Tote Bag named the Sophia Swim Tote.
The great thing about Sophia is that she can be worn like a backpack with a towel tucked under the handles because of its fully-adjustable one-piece design. A pleated pocket outside and a large hanging zippered pocket inside keep small items secure. It’s a really innovative design that we think you’ll enjoy.
Plus you simply can’t go wrong because this is a Swoon pattern – one of our favorite sewing pattern designers.
The finished bag measures approximately 18″ tall by 18″ wide by 5″ deep.
