Any child (or adult) would love this special bag to carry this summer. Useful for carrying impromptu picnics, gym shoes, bits and bobs, or a change of clothes for days out, this bag is easy to make and cheerful to carry.

It’s so easy to make from scraps of fabric, Bonda web, and Anchor stranded cotton.

Why not stop there though? If your child loves the nautical theme, the simple appliqué motif would work equally well on bed linen, cushions, a fabric picture, or on a plain white t-shirt to create designer style for less.
