This is a truly nautical beach bag, and any sailor worth their salt will recognise the answer pennant emblazoned across the front. This is a capacious bag, perfect for lugging all your supplies down to the beach on holiday! A traditional rope and toggle adds authenticity, and a monkey’s fist knot fob decorates one of the handles.

Download the templates and print out. Cut a 47cm square for the back and three 12cm x 47cm rectangles for the base and sides from ticking, ensuring that the stripes on the back and base run horizontally and on the sides vertically. Repeat with canvas lining and wadding.
Iron wadding to the lining pieces. Lay the triangular front template horizontally along a line of ticking and cut it out. Then flip it over and cut another. Using the pennant templates, cut out two white and three red pieces from canvas. With right sides together, pin the canvas pieces to create a red and white striped pennant, sew with a 1cm seam allowance.
With right sides together, stitch the bottom of the pennant to the lower front piece of the bag, starting 1cm from the left edge so you can pull the cord through. Do the same with the top of the pennant and the top front of the bag. No
