The kids decorated this bag together the other day for a friend’s birthday. It’s a shopping tote that zips into pouch-shape so you can store it in your purse and have it handy. Here in Germany pretty much everybody has re-useable totes because you have to pay extra for grocery bags.
The bag comes from dharma trading, which has a ton of other bag options for very reasonable prices. I think you can get some blank totes at Michael’s, too, but maybe not the lightweight zipper kind like this. The kids used Sharpies because we couldn’t find our Tee Juice markers, but I would recommend the fabric markers because the colors will wear better.
Here’s the back:
I thought it turned out really well.
This is the standard reaction (by Frances) to any bag that is brought into the houseI don't have enough time to craft lately (well not as much as I'd like which is all the time), so I seem to be scooting over to etsy to find things that other people have made. It's odd when you know how to do it yourself, but practical or not, I love buying handmade things. I like to see which fabrics people choose to put together and how. I think it's similar to the stash impulse. Like I've bought a tiny bit of someone else's fabric stash.
I love the brown polka dot on the backSo today I received this wonderful quilted tote by the talented Ms. Minshall. Visit Sarah's etsy
shop for lots of crafty treats.
I think Frances has the right idea! She looks right at home there.
Thanks again, Claire! :)
Super cute bag!! Yes, you can't miss with brown and aqua.
very pretty.
frances looks to be enjoying the tote quite happily. i would be too! :)
love it, and true, that color combo is always right on.
Love brown and aqua too. I've just been trying to convince a client of this fact, but she's having none of it. I finally got the blog entry posted about the ILVA store which features your lovely glass cabinet full of fabric goodies. Do visit, it was posted last week. Thank you for loaning the pic.
that bag is adorable! i love it!
