This lovely, handmade, multi-purpose small tote is a great gift idea. It's handy for taking a few items and still looking fashionable without being loaded down. Tissues, keys, sunglasses and a book. What more do you need?
The dimensions of the finished bag are: 9" back/front x 2.75" side panel x 10" long; 9.5" handle drop (can be a short shoulder bag or hand-held)
23.5cm back/front x 7cm side panel x 25cm long; 24cm handle drop
You can choose from a number of available colors. The possible prequilted fabrics are shown in the last photo.
The design includes straps that are filled with batting for added comfort, as well as instructions to make the cute flower.
I will mail you this tutorial along with the kit upon receipt of your payment. If you do not see your country listed, please send me a convo so I can add it.
If you would prefer to purchase the guide without the fabric kit, it is available in my shop.
