Backlog: Tote Van Gogh



Sometime in my early college days, I found a remnant I fell in love with and sewed a tote bag. Though I still have it to this day, it is a bit embarrassing, because I had no idea what I was doing. I knew I wanted it lined, but didn't know how to actually line something, so the seams are all exposed.

But, now armed with the knowledge of how to line a bag (and sew in a straight line) I found another remnant of beauty, matched some solids, and created a replacement.

Fabric: Starry Night is a Keepsake Calico (Jo-Ann) 80% sure the blue is Kona and the yellow is Country Classic (Jo-Ann as well)
Pattern: Drafted by hand
Other Materials: Interfacing
Modifications: NA
Changes for Next Time: The straps are a bit long? That's about it, actually.

For the record, I used the scraps to make my mother one of these.
