This simple tote bag project can be completed quickly, and is the perfect size to hold everything you need on the go. The foam interlining gives this bag a sturdy look & feel.

What You Need:

• 7.5oz Denim
• Cow Print Fabric
• Pellon® Flex-Foam™
• Belting
• Quilting Ruler & Seam Gauge
• Rotary Cutter & Cutting Mat
• Fabric Weights
• Clips or Pins
• Tailors Chalk
• Scissors

What You Do:

1. Start with one rectangle of cow print fabric, denim, and foam all measuring 38 x 17 inches.
2. Working with one layer at a time, fold your piece in half with the right sides together. Sew along the side then sew across the bottom.
3. Now, create a triangle at each bottom corner by aligning the side and bottom seams together. Measure and mark a 4 inch line across the corner and sew along the line. Cut off the excess and repeat on the other side. Do the same thing with your denim and foam pieces, but remember to leave an 8 inch opening in the bottom seam of your denim.
4. Next, place your cow print and denim bags right sides together and pin around the top edge.
5. For the straps, cut two pieces of webbing or belting measuring 21 inches plus seam allowance. Position them 5.5 inches in from each edge with the straps facing down into the bag.
6. Now, place your foam bag inside the fabric bag layers and sew all the way around the top. Flip everything right side out through the opening in the denim and sew the opening in the denim closed. Pin around the top edge one more time and add a top stitch for a clean finish.
