After I posted an easy, unlined tote bag tutorial last year I got TONS of requests for lined tote bags.  I kept putting it off because I wasn’t feeling the inspiration, but now it is here!

 

The first of the lined tote bag tutorials is just that – a basic lined tote bag.  They have an infinite amount of uses and I love having a few on hand all the time.

This next tote bag is possibly my favorite bag I have ever made (and I have made a lot of bags)!

 

I had a paper pieced block hanging on my wall for several months unsure what I wanted to do with it.  One day I was sitting in the floor of my sewing room thinking about the large tub of jeans in the garage that need to be used for something…and it all clicked!

 

I decided to make a sturdy tote bag that featured my rainbow sunburst block, with denim pieced around it to create the bag front.  I then sewed some quilting lines on it and made a useful, yet stylish tote.

The first sunburst tote was made on a whim and not filmed.  So when the pics got a great reaction on facebook and instagram, I decided to make another bag using the scraps from my last bunting project for the sunburst.  This is the bag I filmed for the tutorial.
