Citrus Summertime Tote

May 27, 2014
2 min read

A Free Sewing Project by Amber of Crazy Little Projects

Sew this fun citrus summer tote bag together for days at the park, pool, or beach. Amber, from Crazy Little Projects shows us how she put her tote together using canvas duck fabric prints in a fresh melon or tangerine color! Like a splash of orange juice on a sunny day! The inclusion of interfacing is optional when you sew with canvas or cotton duck as it is already quite sturdy. If you need a stiffer, or more structured bag, interfacing will do the trick. I don’t necessarily recommend this project as a sewing tutorial, as basic sewing skills and an understanding of how to include a lining is implied. A true beginner would become confused. There are many lovely photos to follow along within this sewing project, and a good description of the steps required. Amber does an excellent job demonstrating the construction of this bag, and choosing fabrics. This project is worth adding to your favorites!
