Embroidered Tote Bag

During the breaks that I have of the more complicated models, (blouses, etc.), I'm doing things more simple. This time I made a tote bag as per my sister's request.

She asked me to do this bag so that she can take her lunch in it.

The fabric used was a denim not too thick and the lining was a printed canvas.

It was not hard to do, but it wasn't easy also. I made the pattern, and I used the help from Blog Sew Mama Sew, which has excelent tutorials to do this sort of bags. HERE to do the bag and HERE to sew the lining.

On the outside I have sewn a pocket and embroidered a kitten. The design is not mine, I found in the web, but I can't find from where.

As my sister asked a bag which she could close and as I'm still not very at ease with zippers, I've sewn a velcro tape in it.

I think it looks good, for a first bag. I'll try to make on for myself also.
