Geometric love

Hey there, i’ve had this gorgeous fabric laying around the house for a long time. I bought it at stof&stil in malmö ( the place where i probably leave most of my money these days ) and was not quite sure what do with it. But then i thought that tote bags are awesome and a woman can never have to may bags. am i right ?

Tote bags were my first ever sewing project and are so versatile! i made many as last minute bday gifts.

This pattern comes originally from the fantastic blogger Pattydoo. She has a bunch of patterns and tutorials that are hard to fail even for an absolute beginner.Over the time i adapted it a little.

I paired it with one of my go-to fabrics, a yellow gingham canvas, which i bought in the same week as i got my beloved sewing machine. Best thing -they were second hand curtains and lasted me almost 2 years now! I love to reuse fabrics as its so much better for the environment.

Here is what the end product look like :

( sorry for the crappy photo quality )

Anyway, they are super super sturdy. Working well for heavy grocery shop or as a library bag.

Cause i loved to combo so much i made a couple and i will put them up in my shop . .
