One of my go-to instant gratification sewing fixes is tote bags. Useful, quick, and not too fabric-hungry or head scratching to make!
For this one I used of the last of the home dec fabric that I used for my Mum's birthday tote, and some silver faux leather from projects last summer…
No zips, bells or whistles, just some off-cuts of IKEA Nummer print for lining, and I know I will get loads of use out of this…
The fact that this was made purely from the leftovers of other things makes me happy.
Happy weekend everyone xxx
It's lovely. I need a bunch of bags for grocery shopping and maybe soon I will have time to just make a few. I have lots of leftover fabrics.
ReplyDeleteFab tote! Love the Ikea print too:)
ReplyDeletePerfect! I find I've no sooner made a bag than it becomes a specific bag - quilt group or Sunday school, or school, of stuff to take to mums... So I STILL don't have a spare! So you can never have enough!
ReplyDeleteSmashing!
ReplyDeleteI like your thrifty tote!
ReplyDeletePerfect! I tried to take a photo the other day but couldn't quite manage to - Oliver insisted on carrying the tote bag you made me back home from the shops despite the weight. He obviously has good taste!
