Good Friday Morning Friends!
I have been working on so many things for the shop recently~ getting ready for our Annual Spring Tyme at the Marketplace Open House March 19 & 20 ( yep...that was a plug !)
One thing I've been wanting to make are some tote bags to sell and to hand out as door prizes during the event.
This is what I came up with!
I am lovin the results.
Simple~easy~adorable!
My fav part is the vintage chair webbing! I was lucky to find this in my dear friend Tammy's JunkWild Etsy shop! As soon as I saw it I knew I had to have it...for what I had noooooo idea at the time. So there it sat in my ultra organized, totally put together, craft/computer/spare/office (do I need to tell you to add sarcasm here again? huh? do I?) and I would look at it everyday. Finally the other day, the clouds parted and the EUREKA moment happed and I thought RUFFLE...which lead to tote bag...which lead to my printing program...whick lead to iron on transfer...which lead to this post!
I luuuuuvvvv the red stripe...
And here's the goods! The part that took me the longest was the design of the transfer. I have a Broderbund printing program that I haven't used often so it took me a little while to navigate the thing. As usual. I wish I was a tech~ie.
Here's the transfer. An important thing to note when using a transfer is that you have to print the image in reverse so it faces the right way when you apply it. My printing program offers this as an option. Aren't they sweet?
And there you have it! I have 6 of these for sale and 4 for give-aways! If you make it to the shop for the open house don't forget to get your ticket for a chance to win!

Lovely. You have a nice blog.
ReplyDeletei love that bag!!
ReplyDeletewhat a great way to use that beautiful trim...i have this problem with actually using things like that!
i'll have to be on the look out for some of that stuff.
i wish i lived close and i would come to your open house and buy up one of those bags.
You are so brave. I bought some transfer paper 2 weeks ago but still haven't the nerve to try it. I've been playing around with gel medium transfer which I've finally gotten the hang of.
ReplyDeleteLove the bag!
