tote bag refashion

Welcome to See Kate Sew! If you’re new here, sign up for my email newsletter for access to free patterns, tutorials and all the latest sewing news! Tour my sewing room HERE!

Fashion Art Projects sent me a box of goodies to test out a little while ago. I couldn’t figure out what to do with the blank totes but eventually I decided to cover this bright pink one with a huge ruffled flower.
The magenta is really bright so I played it down with a plain white ruffle, made from lace. I used a glue gun to attach the ruffle. 

Since I started with a premade bag, this project was soo easy! Check out Fashion Art Projects on facebook. They have some other cool things like iron on rhinestones that I am itching to use.
