While I was on the East side of the state this weekend for Alison's Bridal Shower, my mother and I collaborated on a quick tote bag project using the fabric I mentioned in my last post.
I cut out a flower shape and used it as a template to create a fabric flower.
I then adhered it to a store bought tote bag with no-sew fabric adhesive.
I unpicked the handles of the bag and removed them.
I cut two long strips of fabric to make new longer handles, and my Mum used interfacing to stiffen them, and then zig-zagged them and sewed them onto the bag. She then zig-zagged around the flower to finish it.
Ta da! A very cute Spring Tote Bag. I gave this one as a birthday gift to my friend Heather, but now I think I need one for myself. Plus... I'm thinking about making a bigger version with pockets as a diaper bag for a baby shower gift. The possibilities are endless!
