make it easy for me to relax in the surf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You see, Australians have a thing called &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.surflifesaving.com.au\/nippers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">nippers<\/a>&#8221; and from the moment a&nbsp;child can walk, talk and follow directions, they join a&nbsp;class taught on the weekends by volunteers lifesavers or swimming clubs.&nbsp; The point is for the kid to grow up respecting the surf&#8230;..But no nippers, for me, as there were only a couple of beaches in my country where&nbsp;you could surf. &nbsp; In Sydney, you can surf at practically in any beach.&nbsp; The surf is rough and tumbles you as if you were in a cold wash washing machine.&nbsp; If the surf doesn't scare you, the temperature of the water will.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"334\" data-src=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/shutterstock_95044423-500x334.jpg\" alt=\"shutterstock_95044423\" class=\"wp-image-27451 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/shutterstock_95044423-500x334.jpg 500w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/shutterstock_95044423-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/shutterstock_95044423-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/shutterstock_95044423-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/shutterstock_95044423.jpg 1000w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 500px;

For those, few minutes I was gone I could never relax leaving the car keys, money and mobile phone unattended. &nbsp;A beach bag makes it an easy target. &nbsp;A multi-purpose beach blanket was my solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I'd like to share my design for this ultimate beach blanket with you. &nbsp;The Ultimate Beach Blanket features an insert for three&nbsp;pillows or storage, a small pocket under the blanket to hide your mobile phone and car keys.&nbsp; Straps for easy handling and storage. &nbsp;The blanket is big enough to accommodate two&nbsp;adults. &nbsp;This is an intermediate or above level project.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" data-src=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/IMG_1133-copy-500x333.jpg\" alt=\"Ultimate Beach Blanket\" class=\"wp-image-27470 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/IMG_1133-copy-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/IMG_1133-copy-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/IMG_1133-copy-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/IMG_1133-copy-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/IMG_1133-copy-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/IMG_1133-copy.jpg 1920w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 500px;
