Getting Crafty with the Girls

Recently I had a fun evening in with my girlfriends.  I had found a
great little crafty blog how-to for making a beach bag out of
inexpensive beach towels. 

Beach Towel Tote Tutorial

I called up 4
friends and they all were game.  We each picked up 2 or 3 brightly colored beach towels and got
to work.  Keep in mind none of us are that proficient in sewing--just
enough to cause trouble...we had 4 sewing machines going, lots of terry
cloth lint flying about, a few needles broken and maybe just a few a lot of curses
being said through-out the night!  All in all it was a fun evening and
we eventually got some pretty cute/funky beach bags out of it.  

I
improvised and used some rope for the handles by adding grommets to the
bag.
