Hack That Tote { Halloween HACK}

Do you ever wonder about making a simple tote bag?  What fabrics to choose, different types of interfacing ( what IS interfacing anyway) or how to get that nice finished boxed bottom?

Mary Abreu from Confessions of a Craft Addict can answer those questions and MORE! Mary is one of the most FUN people I have ever had the pleasure to meet!  She takes her sewing seriously but makes it fun and easy for everyone to learn how to!


Mary's newest book Hack That Tote published by C&T Publishing, is the how to book everyone needs for starting out and building on basic tote skills!


Here is my HACK!  A new Halloween Tote bag!

The basic Tote pattern is SO fast and easy, it can be made in under an hour!   I used a canvas fabric from Ikea and opted out of the interfacing option.   The handles are from a thrifted heavy duty belt that I just cut up for lugging all of the candy that will be in the bag!  

I used Aurifil 40 weight to give this bag more strength for carrying all around the neighborhood!  Adam is digging it already!

Here are some other projects from the book when you are looking to go past the basic tote stage:

These Nesting bins are my next project from Mary's book!

So many amazing choices!
