Instructions

This is a larger bag than the Blossie Tote I first made. I decided to use a similar idea with the first tote I made. However the different fabrics with rick rack braid as only used on one side of this tote. I made up a pattern for the lining & used a pretty floral fabric.

What are you most proud of?

I gave this tote to my sister for her birthday & she loves it!

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

I make up my own pattern for the lining because I had already made another bag. Once you know how to make the box corners - it is easy. This was my second effort at a tote bag. The first was rather small - so I used a variation of the original pattern (http://bloomandblossom.blogspot.com.au) to make a larger one. The straps on this tote are a little too wide. My next bag will have longer & narrower straps.
