I made a matching tote bag to put my sisters quilt in out of the scraps left over. I did not follow a specific pattern - just read several directions and took what I liked out of each and combined.

The blue jean tote my DD brought over jeans she was going to donate and asked if I could make a tote for her. She picked the green fabric as a contrast. It too, is a product out of my head with no instructions. The top of the bag is weak and having issues staying upright. (I did not put batting or fusible fleece in as it was getting heavy and thick just with the denim. ) Any ideas on how to stiffen the top up without opening seams??

Thanks for looking :)
