linen tote
I just finished this tote bag today and added it to my etsy shop. It is 100% linen on the outside with 100% cotton patchwork and the inside is also 100% cotton. I love the combination of the linen and the patchwork. It was my first time using both on a bag and I think I will probably do some similar bags again in the future.
Do you see the teal Denyse Schmidt Flea Market Fancy fabric that is the middle patch/handles patch/inside of the bag? Ben said the other day that he was surprised I actually had some of that fabric left:) I have used it for quite a few projects (I have a tunic top out of that fabric, I made a few keychains, tissue holders, bookmarks…), but I love the color and pattern of it. Well after making this tote there really is only a scrap or two of it left, so you probably won’t see any more projects with it:) Now I just have to keep resisting the new line of Denyse Schmidt fabrics that came out… So far, so good, but I am not sure how long I can manage:)

Great bag! I love the color combo.
very stylish tote- i love the fabrics you chose to go together.
it would make a lovely library/market bag, i think!
So pretty! I love the linen/cotton combo too!
Love this! I see why AT: Chicago loved it too! Can’t wait to see what you create with all of that new fabric…
