I made these tote bags for my 2 nieces for Xmas, they are 6&8 years old. I used scraps leftover from my Crazy Cat Quilt.
The scrap size decided the size of the tote. These are scrappy totes, the fronts and backs are all different fabrics. I quilted the fabric to make it sturdier. And used a cotton/poly blend fabric for the lining and handles for durability. Personalized them with their name and a cute little crochet flower to "dot" the I.
I used velcro for the closing so they don't loose all
their treasures. Which I plan to include in the totes. :D

Great bags! How did you add the names?

Beautiful totes!

Very Cute bags

Those are adorable! They are gonna love em and everybody's gonna be asking them where they got em!

Marcia, I machine embroidered the names on the pockets,
lined the pockets after I hand stitched the flowers on.
Then stitched the pockets to the front of the totes.

Great bags. I know they will enjoy them.

Those are so girlie and cute!

Ohh, they are darling!!

Very cute and the flowers are a great little addition! :-D
