Worked in one piece from the bottom up, this cute drawstring bag will hold all your essentials for a day at the beach or around town. On the sides of the bag, the stitch pattern is worked into the back loops only, to create the undulating effect of waves in this sturdy, machine-washable fabric made of linen and bamboo. The drawstring can be extended and attached to the bottom of the bag as well, turning this into a functional purse that can be slung over the shoulder.
