Use an embroidered model to create a decorated tote bag, then embellish.
Instructions
STEP 1:
Cut off handles to brown tote bag. Replace them with ribbon handles. Continue adding the ribbon around the top edge of the bag.
STEP 2:
Iron and stitch the edge of the embroidery piece and adhere it to the center of a folded fat quarter.
STEP 3:
To create a pocket, stitch two sides of fabric together inside out, flip right side out and create the top edge with a single seam.
STEP 4:
Use remaining ribbon to wrap around the pocket you created, making a folded flap on the back side.
STEP 5:
Adhere pocket to bag.
STEP 6:
Finish with hook and loop tape to close the ribbon flap and decorate with a hemp threaded button.
