I constructed a simple tote bag using some linen and an adorable Alexander Henry print that I’ve been hoarding for ages. The front, back, and bottom are lined with Peltex #70
And that was that! Fast, easy, and cute – my favorite kind of project. Sure, it won’t get much use sitting in her cubby at school for storage purposes, but hey, a girl can always use a tote bag with her name on it, right? And since the fabric isn’t preschool-ish, and so far she hasn’t shown signs of hating her given name, I’m guessing she can use this bag through adulthood.
Now I’m off to make a second one for my mom, who just had a major attack of jealousy on skype.
I love it! Now get started on the tute cause I’m a sewing dunce and I wanna make one for C. Like now. Cause it’s too cute and I love, love, love that it stands on it’s own.
Now, get on it. (Pleeeeeeease?)
Very, very cute! I love that you used a “grown up” fabric.
I love this! Could you possibly do a tutorial on how to make this? It’s adorable as everything.
I’d love it if you would come by and visit my blog if you get a chance. I have a give away going on and everything :)
This is soooo cute! I love it!
Wow, so cute! I love the fabric and how you paired it with linen.
It’s totally cute. Gosh, I would like one like that for me. Girly but not cutesy little girly. Perfect! I like the idea of using Peltex so it stands up – I’ll have to remember that. Thanks for sharing this.
Very grown up, I love it!!
Where do you live? I recently moved to Israel and had to leave my stock pile of crafting materials and fabric behind. On Tuesday I’m planning to go to Tel Aviv to a street that’s full of fabric shops. Hopefully I’ll score some goodies. I want to make some fun aprons to giveaway on my site.
Oh I luvvvv that Alexander Henry Birdseed fabric!! I also scooped it up in pink AND in yellow years ago but the most I’ve been able to part with was a diaper holder. It’s just too darn pretty!
