Red and Aqua Tote Bag - Fun Color Combination!
It seems the tote bag bug has bitten me once again! You know I just love designing and making bags, and summer is the perfect time to use them for all sorts of things. We spend lots of time at our local library in the summer so it's great to have a good bag to haul all those books to and from the library. We also take trips to the park, and outings here and there, so having a sturdy bag to carry sunscreen, hats, water and snacks is necessary.
Here is my latest bag, already listed in my Etsy shop for sale. Check it out. It just might be the perfect bag for you!
The Red and Aqua color combination is not one I would have ever chosen on my own, but after joining in Jane's Red and Aqua Disappearing 9-patch swap some time ago, I realized what a fun and cheerful combination it is. I recently finished piecing the quilt top from that swap and I also pieced the backing using the darling Plain Jane fabric you see as the lining of this bag.
Isn't that fabric just so happy? I love it!
This bag is a very generous size and features a large inside pocket and a strap with swivel clip to hold keys. The interfacing in this bag is Peltex which makes the bag very stiff and able to stand on its own. If you want more information about this bag, or if you are interested in having it for yourself, click HERE and check it out in my shop. I don't think this one will be around for too long!
Happy Stitching!

My, you have been busy! I would never have thought of that color combination, but it does look cute! I like the Peltex idea, it gives the bag some structure, which is needed in a good tote bag.
