Description

A wet bag is essentially a waterproof bag that is designed to hold damp or wet items without allowing the moisture to seep through. These bags are perfect for storing wet swimsuits, sweaty gym clothes, and even cloth diapers. With a wet bag, you can keep all of your wet items contained without worrying about getting other items in your bag or car wet as well. They're also great for keeping sand and other debris out of your car or home.

Pattern Sizes

This tutorial is for a basic wet bag that is approximately 12 inches by 12 inches. However, you can adjust the size of your bag to suit your needs. Just be sure to cut your fabric and zipper to the appropriate size.

How to Make Your Wet Bag

Step 1: Cut Your Fabric

Start by cutting your waterproof fabric into two rectangles that are each 13 inches by 14 inches. These will form the front and back of your wet bag. If you want to add a pocket to your bag, cut an additional rectangle that is about 4 inches by 6 inches.

Step 2: Prepare Your Zipper

Next, prepare your zipper. If your zipper is longer than 12 inches, trim it down to size. Then, fold each end of the zipper down by about half an inch and sew it in place. This will prevent the zipper from unraveling and make it easier to attach to your fabric.

Step 3: Sew Your Zipper

Now it's time to attach your zipper to your fabric. First, place one of your fabric rectangles right side up on your work surface. Then, center your zipper (right side up) on the top of the fabric, with the bottom of the zipper about 1/2 inch from the top edge of the fabric. Pin the zipper in place, then sew it to the fabric using a straight stitch.

Repeat this process with the other fabric rectangle and the other side of the zipper. When you're finished, you should have two fabric pieces that are attached to the zipper.

Step 4: Sew the Sides

Now it's time to sew the sides of your wet bag. With your fabric pieces still attached to the zipper, fold your bag in half so that the right sides are facing each other. Pin the sides together, then sew them in place using a 1/2 inch seam allowance. Be sure to leave the zipper open so that you can turn the bag right side out.

Step 5: Finish Your Wet Bag

The final step is to finish your wet bag. Turn your bag right side out, then sew the sides and bottom together using a zigzag stitch. This will help reinforce the seams and prevent the bag from leaking. If you added a pocket, now is the time to attach it to the inside of your bag.

Your new wet bag is now complete! Use it to store your wet items and keep them organized, no matter where you go.
