Assembly Instructions

1
Shape the Base: Gently stretch and shape the base of your bag to ensure it lies flat. Block if necessary by dampening slightly and laying flat to dry.
2
Reinforce Handle Areas: Using a yarn needle, reinforce the handle attachment points by weaving additional yarn through the base of each handle loop for extra strength.
3
Attach Handles: Thread your purchased handles through the handle loops you created. Ensure they're positioned evenly and securely attached.
4
Install Closure: If using a magnetic snap, mark the center front and back of your bag opening. Carefully install the magnetic snap according to manufacturer instructions.
5
Add Lining (Optional): Cut fabric liner to size, leaving seam allowances. Sew liner with French seams and insert into bag. Hand-stitch liner to the inside top edge of the bag.
6
Final Touches: Weave in any remaining yarn ends. Give your bag a final inspection and trim any loose threads. Your luxury beach bag is now ready for use!

Pro Tips for Success

  • Yarn Selection: Choose a high-quality cotton yarn for durability and structure. Mercerized cotton works exceptionally well for this project.
  • Tension Consistency: Maintain consistent tension throughout your work. The bag should feel firm but not stiff when completed.
  • Handle Strength: Double-check that your handle attachments are secure. Consider reinforcing with interfacing if needed.
  • Blocking: Steam block your finished bag lightly to give it a professional appearance and help it hold its shape.
  • Care Instructions: Hand wash in cool water and lay flat to dry. Avoid wringing or twisting the bag.
