With the push to go green, we all can use extra tote bags. Who wants to go into one store with bags that have another store's name on them? Wouldn't it be nicer to use bags that are pretty and have a fun or sweet saying on them?

This collection includes the instructions for making tote bags in 3 different sizes and all of the designs shown below for the 4 x 4 hoop. These are not finished in the hoop!

You can use light weight canvas, denim or any other solid weight fabric of your choice! The instructions show you how to make bags are that approximately 12", 14" and 16" but you can make them any size you prefer.

These also make a great gift bag for a special Mother's day present.

The text designs shown here are separate from the flower designs.

Many people are limited to a 4x4 sewing field so we created this set so that all of the text designs sew out in that size hoop. We also included 3 pretty flower designs that you can add those to any text design and make a really special tote.

If you have a 4x4 hoop, just move your hoop up or down. If you have a larger hoop, you can sew one and then move down and sew the other.

We used a 5x7 hoop on each of our samples that includes a flower.
