Hey quilter's...hope all is well. As promised...the second summer "a-play;que" project is ready! We'll be making a "summer tote bag" w/ a quilted and "a-play-que'd" pocket. We'll be turning a 2.49 canvas tote bag that I purchased from "Hobby Lobby" into a "Scrapin' Summer Tote Bag!" You'll be sewing/creating/designing your pocket on the outside using raw edge-a-play-que & outline quilting if desired w/ 50# AURifil thread. Of course, you can totally do some more quilting designs especially "meandering" if desired. I posted a previous tip on Leah Day's tutorial...So wonderful...please check it out. If you made the "quillow" on my previous project, you might be able to tote your quillow in this tote project. This depends on the size of your quillow but the purchased canvas tote is 13 1/4 x 13 1/4. This tote from Hobby Lobby also comes in hot pink, bright blue. red & dark blue. I'll be sharing an advanced tip of making a "smaller pocket" for the inside to hold your cell phone, sun glassed etc. This scrapin' a-play-que series has the same fun & easy techniques that you learned making your quillow. You know me it's all about "less-stress-quilting!" Sew grab a tote...your fabric scraps & let's get ready to "a-play-que" 2gether & make a one-of-a-kind summer tote!
Blessed Quilting from my Home to Yours,
Cat
