My Creative Space...

By PaisleyJade - Tuesday, August 23, 2011

It's been aaaaaaages since I've made a few tote bags, so when a friend asked me to make her one with a flap over the top and pockets inside, I was slightly nervous but also very excited!

I decided to make two, one from recycled denim...



And another using blue cord fabric, lined with a cute lampshade patterned fabric I found recently (I might put the russian doll iron-ons on the flap of this one)...




They were both fun to make, and I think I might be bitten with the tote bag bug for awhile now.
