Michelle's Note:
It is no secret that I have a flip-flop obsession!
Summer has always been my favorite season. Lazy days by the pool, trips to the beach, I love spending time in the sunshine in my sandals! Sew inspired Flip Flops and Wet Tops.
I wanted to create a bag that could be taken easy from the pool, to the beach without taking up too much room in my tote bag. I decided to make the inside practically waterproof for easy cleanup and maintenance.
Friends have loved making this pattern, and as have I. I hope Flips Flops and Wet Tops brightens your summer day!
