This week, we’re doing Tote Bag Tuesday!!
Totes are so useful and we’re sure that you have a piece of stunning fabric just lying around that would make a super cute bag. If you’ve never made a simple tote, we have some sage words to get you started along with a free download of a generic pattern and a tip sheet. Start thinking of all the possibilities!! Have kids or Grands that need a new book bag for fall? Or shopping bags and bags to store your fabric so no one really knows quite how much you have????
Let’s dive in and have fun making tote bags!
