Readers Project: Lisa’s Tote Bag Using Canvas Instead of Tea Towels

Note from Alanda Craft: Lisa took our Tea Towel tote bag tutorial and used a patterned canvas instead of the tea towels. What a great idea, it’s always great to see how innovative you all are. I like the contrasting pocket on the front. She also has a tip about the handles. Fingers crossed, we haven’t had any problems to date with handles not holding, however, it’s always nice to have the option of adding another layer of security. Thank you so much for sharing your lovely canvas tote bag and tip with us, Lisa.

Lisa Says:

I really like this and have made two so far. Here’s an important tip I believe..which I did on the second…you really need to extend your strap 1″ beyond the top when laying it out…much more security in the handles…I’ll be making more for gifts…by the way, I made mine out of some really cute canvas material….beach time! Thanks Again Lisa
