When my husband brought home this bag of birdseed I thought the bag was so pretty that I didn't want to throw it away!
The time came when the bag was empty and I had to come up with something to do with it!
My husband and I travel a good bit and I also occasionally shop at a store where you have to provide your own shopping bags.
So I decided to make this into a tote bag!

The beauty of this is that if you can sew a straight seam, you can easily make this. I used to teach sewing in high school and a tote bag was one of the first projects we made- so this is perfect for beginning sewers!
I used some polka dot ribbon that I had on hand for the handles, but you can also use burlap ribbon or cotton webbing that is sometimes used as belts.
Of course you can use the tutorial to make a tote bag out of any material and the directions can be adapted for any size bag.
