Totes Unique - A Big Surprise

 

 

 A Big Surprise

I originally bought the Rose & Hubble Regal Lane Floral Berries Fabric to make some face coverings but when it arrived I really, really didn't like it so it was relegated to the back of the fabric cupboard.  Several weeks later, when I decided to try making a "proper" tote I ordered some Cordura waterproof canvas to make them with.  As it was a totes new experience for me I decided to do my usual staring at fabric before deciding to use some fabric I didn't like so that if it didn't work out there was nothing lost except some material.

I picked out some bright contrasting colours, from the florals in the pattern going for a lime green lining & cerise waterproof canvas base.  Considering how much I didn't like the florals when it arrived it came as a big surprise that by the time I'd finished it, I loved it!
 
Such was my surprise, I'm considering using the floral fabric for another tote.
