In honor of Natasha Burns' party, "It's All About Me" I made myself a tote bag.
The tote bag is a heavy casual canvas, and I decided to juxtapose it with fancy bridal lace. I embellished it with a beautiful ecru bridal lace, sequined trim, beaded sheer ribbon, button hole trim, and white and off white lace that has a crocheted appearence. To sew these on the bag I used a jean material sewing needle. I also added a wonderful moirre rose.
I added my logo, "A Bit of Heaven". This bag will work great for carrying books, or my hand sewing, and embroidery.

Your bag is fabulous Ele! I love how you've combined the canvas with the fancier bridal trims. You'll get loads of great use from it! Thanks so much for joining in, I'm so glad you did!
Darling bag to be toting our things around in, really cute with the lace trim.
Great bag! I also love a good bag, and enjoy putting together ones that are unique and special - yours is just lovely! I am sure you will get lots of use, when you're not being stopped in the street to find out just where you got such a beautiful bag :)

Ele, your bag is beautiful!! Love the mix of fancy trims with the casual canvas...fantastic!
Oh that bag turned out beautiful Ele! I think it's so usuable with that heavy canvas so that you can carry everything and the beautiful romantic details like the vintage rose, for having something worth carrying in your hand! Love it!

I will not use the word 'elegant' even tho' it definitely applies. I will not use the word 'elegant' even tho' it definitely applies. I will not ... heehee! BUT IT IS EXACTLY THAT, your beautiful bag! Would never have thought to combine lace with the canvas, & THAT is why YOU are brilliant. (And ... yes, ELEGANT!)
Wow, the work on this bag is magnificent. I bet you get allot of compliments on this bag.
