One of the best parts of summer is going to the beach.  Whether you enjoy surfing the waves, reading a relaxing book, building sandcastles with the kids, or taking long strolls along the shore, the beach has something for everyone. If you’re heading on a beach vacation, chances are you’ve already shelled out a pretty penny and are looking to save money wherever you can. This collection, 24 Summer Beach Essentials: How to Make a Swimsuit, Beach Blanket, and More will help you learn how to sew adorable and affordable beach gear so you can soak up the sun in style.
