Tote Bags !

Tote Bags !
I love making bags of all kinds this one is made of lovely
100 % cotton roses fabric ! Great to use for shopping bags, library bags great to give friends and family for gifts, you could make them and sell them like I do.They are very easy to make and use half a metre of fabric each bag ! I also nearly always buy natural fabrics I love 100% cotton fabric best, great to work with and will be composted when its worn out . I think it looks great. To make the bag you will need half a metre of fabric more if you want to add pockets inside and out. All my bags I make them with french seams for extra strength. The finished size is width 49cm x depth 45cm and the finished size of handles straps are 48 cm x width 3 cm. If you need any extra help with making them just post and ask ! Happy Sewing !
