You Asked… I Created! A New Tote Bag Is Coming!

Sometimes the Best Ideas Come From YOU! ❤️

A little while ago, I posted on Facebook asking what you would like to see me create for the two craft festivals I'll be participating in this November.

Well, someone responded with a wonderful suggestion—a foldable, reusable tote bag!

And just like that, I had a new project to work on in my sewing room! 🧵

Of course, having an idea and figuring out how to make it are sometimes two very different things!

It took a few tries, some experimenting with patterns, and a little trial and error, but I finally came up with a design that I think works beautifully.

The idea is simple: a lightweight tote bag that folds up small enough to tuck into your purse. Then, when you're out shopping and need an extra bag, just unfold it and you're ready to go!

No need to take another paper shopping bag from the store. Just pull out your reusable tote, fill it with your purchases, and you're on your way.

I'm still putting the finishing touches on these, but I'm hoping to have them ready for my two November craft festivals.

And here's what I love most about this little project: it started with a suggestion from one of you!

That's why I enjoy hearing your ideas. Sometimes a simple comment can turn into something completely new.

❤️ Now I'd love to hear what you think!

Would you carry a foldable tote in your purse? What colors or fabric prints would you like to see?

Just reply to this email and let me know. I really do love hearing from you!

Thanks for continuing to inspire my creativity!
