Pastel Pink and Blue Embroidered Circles A-line Tote Bag made with a vintage crochet motif

Description

This gorgeous, girly tote bag reminds me of spring blossom... perhaps it will bring you a bit of springtime freshness whatever the time of year...

The bag pattern is my own design and it's a slightly A-line shape with a narrow gusset at the base. I've added a vertical stripe of checked fabric to contrast with the straw-coloured fabric and also some duck-egg-blue ric-rac. I've then randomly sewn on buttons in pink and blue, and hand-embroidered circles in various sizes around each button. There are so many different types of embroidery stitch on this bag, that it's almost like a sampler! There is also a vintage spiral crochet motif sewn on, I think this looks just so pretty!

I've lined the bag in duck-egg blue fabric and added a handy pocket inside. The bag closes easily with a neat magnetic clasp and the handles are double-stitched to the bag for added strength. The bag is softly structured, not too stiff but not too floppy; just right.

I think this bag is pretty and dainty enough to be used for going out in the evening, but also casual enough as a day bag. Or you could just have it at home to keep your jewellery or craft project or other treasures in, and enjoy the intricate stitchwork yourself.
