I found this beautiful table runner at TARGET. I decided to use this as my fabric for the tote. It is thick and sturdy. Once finished, I knew it would hold well.
I cut it to size. The length was around 18" and I kept the width around 14". I made adjustments to those measurement as I went along.
With the right sides together, I sewed on the wrong side all around except the top side. That was the opening where I was going to sew the straps later.
Clipped the corners.
This next step is important. I pinched the corner and shaped the the fabric like a pyramid.
Opened the edges and laid them flat. Measured and marked it about 1 1/2" from the top.
Sewed it on the marking. Cut the excess fabric. Repeated it on the other side too.
I cut two strips of fabric measuring 20" x 4". Folded them and sewed them into straps.
Attached both the straps to the bag on the inside.
Made a pom pom flower from some leftover wool. I attached it to the front of the bag with a button to accessorize it.
This is how it looks all finished and ready for my older one to use as and when she needs it.
