So on popped the light bulb in my head.... Why don't I try making one!! Now, as usual it's not as easy as I first thought but I'm plugging away at it! I couldn't find a pattern for the bag I wanted, let alone one that was plastic covered, so I've had to combine a couple of different patterns and also adjust them to my liking - not an easy task.
I quite like sewing with the plastic, although it can get a little stuck on the sewing machine if you don't hold it the right way and of course it sticks to itself like a velcro !
Anyway, I quite like how it's turning out so far (I've got two on the go - both with Amy Butler fabric) but I just need to find a way to finish it off - and that's not proving easy... Here's my progress so far.. (the blue one isn't as far along but I like it better as it's a bigger and better style than the first)
I'll keep you updated on my progress.

I look forward to seeing what you come up with. I already like what you've done. Those wet swmimmers are always hard to deal with. You may have found your self a nice little niche.
These are so pretty! Well done.
That's cute, and so practical! Thanks for the heads up about my bird on etsy front page :)
What kind of plastic did you use to surround the fabric? Is there plastic on both sides of it too?
I love seeing the swimming pics, it reminds me that summer isn't too far away on my side of the world and I'll be able to warm up soon!
