The tote bag served me well but the plastic/nylon fabric wore out and the handles were about to fall off. The pieced panels were fine. Time to make a new tote!
The 6" selvedge blocks I began last week were just right. I made 40 of them (emptying one-and-a-half gallon ziploc bags). The tote uses 23 of them (front, back, sides,and bottom). I reused the panels and still had some of the same red print in my stash to make the handles.
This is the fifth tote bag I've made this year. Am I on a roll?
Nice looking tote. Can't have too many bags in my world.
ReplyDeleteLove it - congratulations on a great finish!!
ReplyDeleteMust. Not. Succumb. That looks as though it'll be sturdy enough to last for decades, and what an adorable way (and reason) to use selvedge edges!
ReplyDeleteVery clever, Nann!
