Make me a tote please…
A client had a Wizard of Oz cotton Panel (see panel below) and asked me to make a tote bag from it.
The only directions was that she wanted me to use the “face” area for the tote. Here are pictures of what I was able to come up with.

This is the front of the large tote where I used the face as my client asked. I used the boarder from the panel to make the handle.

This is a picture of the back. I used a small scene that I had in my personal fabric stash to make a pocket. I think it fit the tote well.

After the large tote was complete I looked over what was left and was able to get enough fabric to make this smaller tote. I think the castle and flying monkeys make a great scene.

After the second tote was done there wasn’t much left but scraps. I wanted to make sure that I used as much of the panel as possible, not only for my client but also because I hate to waste fabric. I found enough to make this zippered change pouch.
Now there’s nothing left of the panel but what are truly “scraps”. I hope my client likes what was done and that she will be “pleasantly surprised” when she gets 3 items instead of the one tote she commissioned. 🙂
