2012 Thank You Totes

I have been making these totes as thank you presents for three years now for my children's class teachers.  This year I went with the following measurements:
Front:
 w: 49cm x h:22cm for the top rectangle.
w: cm x h: 30cm for the two outer bottom rectangles
w:13cm x h: 30cm for the bottom middle rectangle

Back was w:49cm x h:52cm
1.5cm seams throughout 

You can see the front on the picture below:


  I also made some inside pockets.  One was a flat one and the other was a stand out one, I used directions from Lisa Lam's "Bag Making Bible" book.  They were all fully lined.


I went with three colour ways (the teacher's favourite colours) and my children embroidered the hearts.




I hope you like them as much as the teacher's did.  I think these make a great present, and tend to be much appreciated by the receiver.

Whether you’re absorbing the sun on the best quality beach towels, lounging by way of the pool, or hosting an outside barbeque, those multi-purpose towels are a need-to-have accessory for any outside event.
