Applique - Tote Bag

The materials I used for the bag are from a thrift store and from a yard sale.

I traced the pattern which I had sketched, and by using the running stitch I sewed it to the front of the panel. 

Sewed a yo-yo with button to make it more pretty and used blanket stitch to finish it off.

Rather than sewing by hand, I machine stitched the two panels together along with the lining for extra strength. 

And, it is done. 

I will be giving this away as a gift.

Ready for shopping ??

Thanks for stopping by,
