To make this tote, I selected these prints from Modern Workshop because I thought the saturated colors, combined with the chocolate brown, make a nice transitional palette as we start to think about fall. But it still looks pretty OK hanging out at the pool at the height of summer, doesn’t it?<\/p>\n

In fact, it looks even better in the pool with all that blue surrounding it. (I took its place on this air mattress shortly after shooting this photo.)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

You can find the free instructions for making this bag right here<\/a>. We call it the Mother-Daughter Tote because it’s great for grown-ups to carry along just a few essentials (it’s big enough for a book but small enough to work more like a handbag) and because children like it too. Maybe because they want to be like their moms? I don’t know, but S certainly manages to find all sorts of uses for hers.<\/p>\n

We still have some fabric packs<\/a> available if you’d like to sew your own bag with Modern Workshop.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
