Scrappy Little Fabric Totes

I made these scrappy bags quite a while ago. Wanting to use up some of the never-ending fabric scraps, I thought making these bags would help reduce the pile of scraps (they didn't reduce it much at all). I made these to give to the first 10 people who had signed up for the Selvage Class I taught over a year ago. I put their selvage kit for the class into these bags.

Using fabric strips of all widths I had on hand, I sewed the exterior of the bags.

I sewed a little button on the front that says Handmade.



On this one I sewed buttons on the handles to the bag, instead of sewing the handles into the bag.

I added a contrast strip at the top on this bag.

  4. A great way to use up scraps, Daryl. That many bags wouldn't make much of a dent in my stash, either.
