The Way-Too-Big Tote Bag Tutorial

We have a treat for you today...we are welcoming our newest blog contributor Keelyn Fawcett with her first ever tutorial!

The Way Too Big Tote Bag
We sent Keelyn a happy squishy packet of this new fabric collection and asked her to make a project.

Oh! My!  She went all out on her project and instructions for The Way-Too-Big Tote Bag.  These handy totes finish at a luxurious 16 1/2" x 12" x 11".

The Way Too Big Tote Bag
She used the Dragons  fabric collection from Lewis and Irene Fabrics.  And she didn't create just one, but two totes!  These are soooo adorable!  The fabrics she used from the collection are listed below.

Blue Tote:

Main Panel/Inside Strap – Flying Dragons on Light Jade

End Panel – Dragon Eyes on Jade

Main Pocket – Dragon Castle on Dark Blue

End Pocket – Flying Dragons on Dark Blue

Main/End Bottom/Outside Strap – Ink Splats on Blue

Main Liner – Dragon Eyes on Midnight

End Liner Panel – Dragon Eyes on Cream


Pink Tote:

Main Panel – Ink Splats on Red                   

End Panel/Outside Strap – Flying Dragons on Cream

Main Pocket/Inside Strap – Dragon Castle on Cream

End Pocket – Dragon Eyes on Jade

Main/End Bottom – Ink Splats on Light Jade

Main Liner – Dragon Patches

End Liner Panel – Flying Dragons on Blue

The Way-Too-Big Tote Bag instructions can be downloaded HERE.
(Note:  Because Keelyn included all her images in the instructions, it is a large file and may take a few minutes to download.)

Please leave a comment welcoming Keelyn to our blog.  We hope to have her back again very soon for another fun tutorial!
