Hey friends,
I made my first tote bag! No, it's not the Marc Jacobs tote bag... but I think its cute nonetheless. I've included all of the sizes of each pattern piece I used to create this bag below, so that you can use it as a tote bag tutorial and make it too, if you would like to!
I used some leftover pink canvas material that I had from making my farm boot protectors, so there was no waste material in the making of this bag. I also used loads of my favourite super glue (sponsor me, Renia Colle de Cologne hehe).
I hope you like it!
Much love,
Meg x
