am looking for a beach bag pattern for my granddaughters to use when they go camping with us to take to the shower house found one but only 12" wide by 11" tall not big enough really need help thanks

All you really need to do is to take about 1/2 yd of fabric, sew the sides together, put a casing in the top and run something through it for a pull. If you want something with a gusseted bottom you can do that too. Hand stitch a piece or two of plastic canvas to the bottom if you want a sturdy, flat bottom. Or you can also use some woven belting to make handles if you don't want the draw string type.

Just google tote bag patterns and you will get a ton of them.
