I designed the tote to have a basic shape, where it’s a rectangular bag.
Made with white canvas for strength, and fully lined in turquoise, this tote could actually be reversible. The back needed a little detail, so one blue tree stands alone. The sewing is pretty basic and painting the tree design gives you lots of opportunity to make it unique for that great teacher who deserves a cute tote to lug all their supplies!
