Fabric + ribbons + trims + thread = Trim It Tote!
By Serena Nabeta | May 8, 2009
Ah, yes! Who can’t resist stitching another tote bag?!?! I have many; way too many to count in several different sizes and styles. Some I have kept and others I have given away, but there’s nothing such as fun as a new and different kind of bag!
Check out the Trim It Tote by designer, M’Liss Rae Hawley! Pick out a base fabric (perhaps one from your stash you aren’t too crazy about) and start embellishing with ribbons and trims. Have you seen all the fun and unique trims, ribbons, cording and beaded fringe that are available in hundreds of thousands and colors?! Way too many for just one bag. So get started stitching! :)
Thanks to allpeoplequilt.com and M’Liss Raw Hawley for the project instructions!

Oh I like this. I certainly have some base fabric that is boring and plain and quite dark so this is perfect for all those extra ribbons and bits I have.

This is a cool tote bag. I love seeing what embroiderers can do with thread and trimmings. I wouldn’t mind getting one of these as a gift.

I think this is a great way to us my trim and lace. The decorative stitches too. Who doesn’t have fabric they don’t like and wonder why they bought it.
