How to Make Bags for Everyday Use

With some old dresses, towels, and an old laundry bag, you can make a large bag that can be used for dance, school, the beach, or just about anything:

What you need to make this:

1) An old towel or fabric from a dress, skirt, etc.

2) Any scrap fabrics

3) An old laundry mesh bag

4) Needle & thread

5) Scissors

How to make this:

Cut out two elongated half circles (to be the outside of the bag).  Sew the sides and bottom together.  The inside lining can be done the exact same way, with any type of fabric.  Sew the inside lining and outside lining together.  Make straps by braiding three strands of an old towel together.  Attach to the top of the bag and then sew shut the top.  The inside pockets can be made by cutting out rectangles and just stitching them onto the inside fabric.  The mesh bag can be attached the same way.
