I guess October/November doesn’t sound like beach weather, especially on the west coast, but I never seem to make projects ‘in season’.
Anyway, these nice large beach bags can be used for books or the market, too. These sturdy bags are about 17″ x 14″ and can contain quite a bit.
There are no interior pockets, but you could certainly add them.
There is a water bottle ‘pocket’. It has no bottom; it is a casing to hold the bottle.
The Beach Bag pattern is a free download from Connecting Threads.
All of these bags are gifted.
They are easy to make, so maybe some more are in my future.
Have fun and carry on!
