Tea Towel Market Tote Adapted from Clare Youngs’s The Perfect Handmade Bag ($19.95; Cico), this cute carryall requires little more than a pair of small wooden spatulas and two tea towels ($15 each; motherlindas.com). Cut six strips of fabric from one towel.

Two, measuring 33⁄4"W x 141⁄4"L each, will serve as the decorative horizontal bands at the top of the tote and should incorporate the towel’s graphics (as shown, left). The other four, measuring 31⁄2"W x 8"L, will form tabs for the bag’s handles. To make a tab, topstitch one of the long sides of a 31⁄2"W x 8"L strip near the edge. Lay the second towel on a flat surface, right side up. Flip the towel right side down. Fold the towel in half, wrong sides together. How To Build A Fireball You Can Hold&Video - StumbleUpon.

Oh yeah, and it’s free, as long as you have some scrap fabric laying around. My initial inspiration came from this sweet headband (from here): And then there was this one (from here): I love the casual look of the knit fabric mixed with the sweet flower. I cut a long strip from the tights and trimmed it until the length and width were right (i.e. lots of holding it up in the mirror, trimming some more, holding it up again). I apologize for the awful photo showing this step. The next thing I did was cut another long strip out of the tights, about an inch or so wide. Here are a few shots of how mine turned out: Total money spent: $0 Total time spent: 10-15 minutes Like this: Mylar Snack Bag TUTORIAL v1.0.pdf.
