Gather and patch together old reused swimming costumes, to make a single length of fabric to work with. Patch together also a plain or netting side for inside of your bag.

Source and cut out your chosen bag pattern. The above pattern is the one used for the example shown, which uses two bag bodies and one bag bottom.

Cut out your pattern and arrange onto your fabric.

Pin the pattern down and cut out your fabric shapes, which for this example shown would be two bag bodies and one bottom from each of your chosen fabrics.

Sew together the handle ends of the bag bodies. Pin the patterned body of fabric to the plain body of fabric (inside out). Pin along the curved edges and the handle. Leave the sides open.

Sew along curved edge and long handle.

Turn the right way around by pulling the material through the handle.
