Upcycled Bright Funky Tote Bag

Description

This cute tote bag was made from a funky pair of fashion jeans in chocolate brown with simple bright flowers in pinks and tans. The bright magenta side panels and straps have been cut from a piece of textured furnishing fabric that was donated by a work colleague.
There is a zipped front pocket on the main panel and the bag is held closed with magnetic clasps on small flaps.

I have cut the lining from a pretty pink doona cover. You will find a zipped pocket on the inside back panel and a double slip pocket on the inside front panel.

Size: 34cm across, 26cm high, 7cm wide front to back. Straps 54cm long so the bag can be worn over a shoulder if desired.

The original design pattern for this bag is the Pelican Tote, by Bagstock Designs. I have modified the pattern in the creation of the actual bag.
