A beach rug made of terry cloth with a pillow is useful both on the beach and by the pool. Thanks to special handles, the rug is easy to roll up and convenient to carry.
You will need:
- cotton fabric;
- terry cloth;
- needle and thread for sewing;
- filler for pillows;
- ruler;
- scissors;
- tape measure;
- trick marker;
- tailor pins;
- belt tape

Step 1
Cutting (including 1 cm allowances):
Terry cloth: a piece measuring 70 x 180 cm;
From cotton fabric: detail for a pillow measuring 70 x 42 cm; two oblique beiks measuring 8 x 182 cm and one - 8 x 70 cm in size.
Step 2
At the bottom cut of the cushion part, iron a 1 cm wide allowance onto the wrong side.
Stitch the upper section of the pillow part to the terry part with the front side to the front side, leaving an open area of approx. 15 cm to fill the pillow.
Step 3
Unscrew the upper edge of the mat (see step 2) on the front side and iron it.
Pin down the ironed bottom section of the pillow part and stitch it on the edge.
Stack the side sections of the pillow at a distance of 5 mm.
Step 4
Fold oblique in half lengthwise and iron.
Tighten both longitudinal sections to a width of 1 cm and iron - the width of the spacers in the finished form is 3 cm.

Step 5
Pin both longitudinal sections (including sections with a pillow) to the prepared strips, and turn both upper corners 1 cm and sew them by hand.
Step 6
Sew oblique along the sections to the edge. Fill the pillow through the hole 15 cm long and fill it in manually.
Step 7
Fill the bottom cross section of the beach mat with an oblique trim (see steps 5 and 6).
Step 8
On the belt tape (length 224 cm) in the central part, lay the length of the handle 70 cm and fold 2 loops: the length of the loops in the finished form is 74 cm, and the allowances are 3 cm (pin and sew).
Done!
