Summer Screen Tote

Our pool opened this past weekend so I guess it is officially summer.  And this bag is perfect for trips to the pool.  It is another of Nancy Ota’s Screen Play bags (which I wrote about back on Week 12) .  The body is made from pet screen and is perfect for carrying wet towels and toys back from the pool or the beach.   The screen bottom lets sand sift right through. 

I absolutely love this fabric, Fruit Ladies by Mary Stewart.  When I saw it I immediately knew I would use it on one of these bags.   The stripe is a Waverly home dec fabric.

This pattern includes four sizes of bags.  This one is the large size (there is still one larger than this one).  Try this pattern and make your own summer bag, perfect for the pool, beach, library or farmer’s market.
