    Convertible Picnic Blanket with Pocket & Strap

    May 18, 2023 /

    Sew a Convertible Picnic Blanket This picnic blanket converts into a tote with a few simple folds, making it great to take to the park, beach or on the road. The shoulder strap is tucked into the pocket when using the blanket, keeping it out of the way.
