PATCH Tote bag face lift

Post image

The bottom of my favorite tote bag was getting dirty and worn out so I used some scrap denim from old jeans to make a new bottom after cutting away the old part; and I also reinforced the attachment of the straps (although they are slightly uneven hahaha)

I used a felled seam stitch to join the old and new together on my Viking Jade 20 (best purchase I’ve ever made, it was half off at my nearest retailer bc of the Joann’s bankruptcy, would highly recommend looking into discounted models of this in person if you are looking for a better machine)

I love that place! Haven't been in a while since we moved to RI.

Omg! I only get to go there about once a year when I see family :)

Hope you can go sometime for me, wish I was closer, it’s such a cute coastal area imo

I'd love to take my daughter there when the weather is nicer - she's 19 months old but looooves her books
