This tote design is partcularly strongbecause of its one piece construction with the joins at theside.Make use of the florals for Spring and holiday prints inWinter. Be brave, try eyelet with ribbons for a wedding orbridesmaid gifts. Make ahead for the holidays in all sizes. At Christmas choose sparkling fabrics and metallic cordsfor handles, decorate with ribbons and ornaments.
