I recently received a groovy little surprise tote bag in the post from Canadian lifestyle specialty channel Makeful with the challenge to transform it into a personalized piece of awesomeness. (I think I succeeded =O)
Materials
- a vintage hankie
- felt (or non-fraying fabric scraps)
- a leftover pocket
- vintage sewing themed charms
- embroidery needle & thread
- sewing machine
How to make it
Step 1: I searched through my stash and grabbed a vintage hankie, felt, a leftover pocket and the vintage sewing themed charms that I’d been saving for ages. Then simply chopped out a mini me from the felt bits and stitched and embroidered it all together!
Step 2: I love those little charms – it really pays to sort through and keep a well organized stash!
