This is my youngest's (11) idea.  She wanted to make a beach bag out of some material I had bought some time ago as it was cheap.

I cut out the pieces and directed her how to sew them together which she did. I think she made an excellent job.  I finished off the bottom because she wanted a square base to the bag and a little bird had told me how to achieve this but until now did not have the nerve to attempt it.
