Plush Velvet Tote

The last of my recent run on gift making is this plush velvet tote bag for my youngest daughter.

She requested an everyday sizeable, soft tote bag, especially when she's too-ing and fro-ing to lectures at Uni.

Now this girl of mine is super tactile! I gave her a choice between 2 different lightweight upholstery bolts I had been donated, knowing full well she would choose the sumptuously soft velvet over a paler linen look fabric.

I also gave her a choice of lining fabrics and she choose the one I had my fingers crossed on! That's my girl!

At 5'11" I knew she would need long length handles.  I made a feature of them with a few repurposed denim loops and tabs.  A little scrap of leather denotes the front of the bag.

A simple phone pocket on the inside is all this bag needed to make it fully functional.

 

I'm happy to report the birthday girl loved her new bag and has been using it ever since!

Happy sewing!
