Rated 4 out of 5 by from Beach Tote I made two of these for our beach vacation and they turned out great. I fused firm peltex to the bottom for support. And my bottom panel I cut to 23x12, not 23x14. I also sewed the straps on differently and added side pockets.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great size I was looking to make a large portable bag. This size was perfect. I was able to use leftover outdoor fabric from a previous project, I did not add the dowels.. The actual sewing skill required for this project is beginner level, however the pattern instructions is written for someone familiar with bag sewing.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Where is the pattern??!!! Joanns needs to do a better job proving the pattern to the projects. And use language that folks with no experience can understand. This is ridiculous.
