Title of Your Project

Simple Heart Tote

How I Did It:

I cut out some hearts in fabric and sewed them on an already made tote bag with cross stitch threads. I used old jeans and an old flower pillowcase for the fabric. Then I added a few buttons, two heart ones too.

Tips and Tricks

  • I would make a pattern for the hearts, some of the ones I cut came out bad.
  • I might try and sew it with a machine next time so it is faster
