Toucan Tote with Thermoweb

 

We have Hopscotched on Toucan Watch, ringed letters and numbers in Toucan Toss, played Tic-Tac-Toe and Toucan Cornhole. Now this "Toucan Tote" bag has plenty of room for the rings and bean bags we have collected, along with the reversible activity mat and extra snacks to take along.

If you have been following my Jungle Theme "Toucan" projects you've likely seen this reversible quilt.

Now, using the leftover fabrics from this 2-sided quilt, you should have plenty to make this tote bag.

All fabric requirements are included in the free pattern for you.

Combined with these Thermoweb products you will have a sturdy tote bag that's easy to make.

 HeatNBond®Fusible Fleece

 HeatNBond EZ Print Lite or HeatNBond®Lite

 HeatNBond Non-Woven Craft Fusible X-Firm 60” wide

I Craft Fabric Fuse Liquid Adhesive is a great way to add the handles to this bag, by keeping them straight and fused to the bag allowing you to stitch without pins. Once you get the handles placed where needed just run a bead of the adhesive down the back side of the handle and let dry for a few minutes.

SprayNBond®Basting Adhesive holds the layers of your bag front and lining together nicely, to aid in quilting each piece.

There are plenty of tips, tricks and photos in the free pattern.

Pinwheel Play Garden Flag

The pattern is printer friendly...which means no more tracing! 

Just drop a sheet in your printer and your ready to fuse them to the back of your fabrics.

Cut out the applique shapes and arrange on the front, fuse in place and stitch using your favorite method.

HeatNBond Liquid Vinyl

keeps your fabric projects protected outdoors from the elements. Best yet, you can choose the amount of protection needed, by adding additional layers of product.

It paints on easily, using a foam brush or my favorite, a fine bristled brush.

Cleanup is a snap, using just water.

Waterproof Re-Usable Tote and a Give-Away!

Are you a warehouse shopper? Costco and Sam's Club seem to always be on my radar, but I hate hauling everything home in boxes, because then  I have to find a way to get rid of them.

Years ago Sam's Club had huge reusable tote bags that were awesome...but can you find them now?

Oh heck no. So I went to work and made my own bags.

But wait... I just doubled it's duty with

 HeatNBond Liquid Vinyl

Not only do I have a super strong reusable tote bag for my warehouse shopping, but I've just made it waterproof with this new product. By applying it on both the inside and outside, I'm beach ready.  The waterproof coating on the outside, keeps water out and on the inside it contains all your wet beachwear.

AND

No worries about leaking meat packages and dirty shopping bags, you can wipe out the bag with disinfecting wipes or throw it in your wash machine using cold water.

Did I mention the bag is huge?

The bottom is 11" x 17" 

which also makes for a great size tote when you going to a pot luck.

Why double handles?

The short ones make heavy bags easier to lift and move.

The longer ones make it easy to carry on your shoulder.

It's fun and easy to personalize and dress up your bags with Crafter's Edge.

The Posey Basket and Posey Flowers Set 1 was the perfect way to bring a little summer fun to my bag.

Don't forget the Crossover II Die Cutting Machine is on sale for 25% off this month.

The price automatically adjusts itself in your shopping cart.

Yep, I am the mom who stole all the tootsie rolls from my kids candy bags.
