Hi friend! Happy Saturday! I’m delighted to welcome back special guest Richele Christensen with this gorgeous tote inspiration using new Tim Holtz Palette Canvas Cloth fabric in the super popular Teal Butterfly pattern! Read on for all the details and enjoy!

Hello friends! Today I’m so excited to share the NEW Palette Canvas Cloth from the Tim Holtz Palette Collection. There is 16 favorite designs from the Palette Collection! The fabric has a soft textural feel and it’s easy to work with. For the exterior of my bag I chose the Palette Teal Butterfly fabric (one of my all time favorites from this collection). The Palette Multi Ticket was cut to include only the green, teal and blue section for the lining. The accent for the bag is the Palette Teal Marble. The pattern is the Trail Tote by Noodlehead, it’s a wonderful bag that can be worn as a crossbody and the instructions are easy to follow.

Gather your supplies, cut out your pieces and iron the interfacing on.

Sew the darts in the corners of the exterior and lining pieces of the bag.

Mark the lines for the exterior pocket zipper. Sew on the lines, trim and flip pocket to the inside, press well. 

Use a little glue stick to hold zipper in place and then top stitch close to the edges.

Work on the lining construct the inside pocket and sew to the lining piece.

Sew bag together leaving an opening for turning. Insert the handle tabs on each side.

Turn bag right side out, push lining to the inside and press well.

Stitch the hole closed used for turning. Top stitch around the top edge.

Add buckle to strap and sew ends in place.

Thanks so much for stopping by! I can’t wait to see some of your projects with this beautiful Canvas Cloth. Happy Sewing! -Richele
