ABOUT THE TOTE BAG

Striking Art Gallery Fabrics canvas is the focal point of this bag, in shades of violet and turquoise. The black straps tone down the print and bring in a neutral basic that’s in everyone’s wardrobe. These tote bag colors are perfect for fall, but work anytime of year too! The interior lining is a light lilac cotton solid fabric, which peeks out of the exterior pockets with a hint of color.

The padded straps are as comfortable to wear as they are pretty, with fusible fleece providing cushion for tired shoulders. Fun specialty threads are used for quilting the straps to add a custom element that makes your tote bag unique. Quilt the straps in the manner of your choice, with straight line quilting, diagonal chevron quilting, free-motion quilting & more! Or topstitch down both strap long edges for a totally different look. The choice if yours for the thread you use for quilting, too. Two spools are included so you can mix and match (as shown) or choose the one you like best for the straps and use the other for topstitching.

The boxed corners along the lower edge ensure that you have plenty of space for even the bulkiest of items. Exterior pockets provide ample room for more storage, too. Add a machine embroidery design to the pocket with an extra bonus video included! Or, use the pocket to highlight a patch or appliqué design.
