Best Summer Bag to Sew? 🎒 Meshing Around Drawstring Backpack (Kits Available)

This is the perfect bag for summer activities and I'm excited to share a few tips for making it - plus pattern + notion kits! Meshing Around from ByAnnie patterns is a lightweight drawstring backpack constructed with mesh and fabric - great for carrying everything from swimsuits to workout gear. Breathable mesh provides ventilation and easy visibility of what's inside. The fabric base and casing allows you to showcase fun prints from your own stash. On the front, there are mesh slip pockets for small items. The cinch top is easy to open and close, the drawstrings double as straps. (Medium size shown in photos)
