Tied Totes

The idea for these bags were from a vendor at St. James Art Fair last fall.  My friend Kim and I have attended at least every other October since she was in law school.  Its one of those weekends I look forward to all year long.
After looking at several bags, we challenged ourselves to creating one before our annual Christmas get-together in December.  I do not have a picture to post of my first prototype, nor of my Christmas tote, but with some input from friends and a bit of tweaking, these are what I've created.
I plan to take some pics of the process to create a tutorial in the near future.  
Items you need:
base solid heavier weight 1/4 yd
patterned heavier weight 1/6 yd
scraps pieced together to complete 3rd layer
1/2 yd for lining
coordinating thread
optional BIG button
recycled necktie...
Simple, quick. Finished bag is roomy and comfy to carry!
