Multi Tote Bag - Strawberry Jam for Riley Blake Designs

Hello! It is hot hot hot. I'm seriously melting over here in Southern California. It's still spring, but it feels like Summer already. This made me want to make a huge bag! A bag that you can stuff all your summer goodies in like a straw hat. Strawberry Jam fabric by Lauren Brewer for Riley Blake Designs is perfect for spring into summer sewing. It has the cutest strawberry prints, bunnies peeking behind cute dainty florals, and beautiful floral prints using the prettiest color pallette. 

I made the tote bag multi-functional of course. You can either use it open in it's tote position, or you can bring the side together with the button strap inside to make it boxier. Either way, it will hold a lot of your stuff! I added roomy elastic side pockets to hold water bottles, and a front pocket for your cell phone and keys. 

Here is what I made:

Strawberry Jam will be arriving soon, so check your favorite quilt/fabric shop to see if they carry it.

Thanks!

Hot Wheels Toy Caddy

It's always refreshing to make things with boy fabric and this is the ultimate boy fabric - licensed Hot Wheels fabric by Riley Blake Designs! I haven't made anything for Jack in a while so when he saw me making this Toy Caddy, he was so excited. Like every little boy, Jack has probably over one hundred Hot Wheel cars. We've been storing them in this plastic bag tote but a Hot Wheels Toy Caddy is way cuter and functional. Honestly, I'm tired of seeing them scattered all over my house, so now that he has a dedicated bag for them, hopefully he will help me clean up his mess! I added a drawstring closure to keep it together and added handles so Jack can easily carry it from room to room.

Here is what I made:

Licensed Hot Wheels fabric is out now, so check your favorite quilting / fabric store and see if they stock it!


Thanks!
