Tote bag

I do love a good tote bag. Its seems I carry a lot of stuff around, particularly books and papers, so for me, a good tote bag needs to be sturdy and have handles that are a comfortable length. I have been wanting to try Adrianne's tutorial for a while now, and finally got around to it this weekend.


I used some of my very favourite fabric for this bag (Lizzie House Catnap) and the Soft and Stable that Adrianne recommended (from Stitchbird for any curious kiwis). 


I also found some great fabric for the lining which I had tucked away in my stash. I love it when I can shop from my stash - I think it is a Denyse Schmidt fabric that I got from Spotlight.

    Yep, it's definitely a DS print- I don't remember seeing it in yellow though! Love the kitties chasing the butterflies! That will be a very useful ( and admired) bag, I bet!

    Lovely tote bag! And I love it when you are able to source enough fabric from your stash! I've just been busy getting together a few fabrics for a new sturdy nappy bag for my daughter, so I'll check out that 'soft & stable' stuff too! Linda

    Shopping from your own stash is brilliant. That's why we have it, right? Or do we just collect for the fun and bragging rights. :) Maybe all the above in doses. Nice bag! Hope it holds up to your book needs well as you intended.
