Tutu Totes

Party Bags {on a budget}

I love having cute bags to give as party favors. I'm making these for our Pinkalicious party but they would be great for a princess party, ballerina party or just a for a little girlie girl. This is such a simple project that it is perfect teaching project for a new sewer.

Supplies:
*fray check & hot glue or fabric glue {not shown}



Put your 10x10 felt squares together and sew around 3 sides, leaving the top side open

Take the bottom edge and measure 2" on each side. Mark with pins or fabric pen

Pull out corner matching edge to edge. Sew a line from 2" mark to 2" mark and trim off excess.

Repeat on the other corner and then turn your tote right side out

Use fray check to seal the ends of your ribbon and pin to the inside of your tote. Use a decorative stitch and sew around the entire top of your tote, making sure to catch the ribbon handles.

Cut a 7" wide strip of tulle. Using the longest stitch setting, sew a gathering stitch along the top side of your tulle and gather your tulle piece to match the width of your tote.

Using a zigzag stitch, sew your "tutu" to your bag, a few inches from the top

Trim any extra tulle {above the zigzag stitch}. Use fabric glue or hot glue to glue sequin ribbon over the stitching.

A tote fit for a Pinkalicious Princess!

I will be linking up to THESE parties!
