Santa Tote Bag with Tutorial
Kick off the holiday season right with a bag that will make you the envy of all of the other elves in town. I designed this bag last year as a teacher gift, and made one for myself, too. It is such a fun bag to carry while I do my Christmas shopping. I used coat weight wool for the outer fabric but this would be fantastic in a quilted red satin. The belt is grossgrain ribbon, the buckle appliqued lame and the trim a hand knit I-cord.
I've written a tutorial that outlines all of the steps in constructing this bag so you can whip one up for yourself or someone special on your gift list.
