Tote bags

Time for totes! These were made from dishtowels, the Orla Kiely for Target collection. Really great fun prints. If you're lucky, your Target might still have some left, but they're pretty much sold out at this point, I think. I really wanted to find the green pear print one, but no dice. My starting point for these was a tutorial from Ashley, over at Film in the Fridge. Definitely check out her blog, she does some amazing stuff. Then I tweaked the size a bit, added a couple pockets, and Bob's your uncle (actually, my cousin) you have a tote bag! Or if you're me, you have three!

I think I'm going to keep the brown one, and put the other two up in my Etsy store.

  1. Those are great! I wonder if my Target still has those dish towels. I hope so. I know I've seen them there.

  2. Thanks, they were fun to make. As you can probably tell, when I like making something, I have to make multiples!
