Happy Home Crisscross Tote Bag Tutorial
The Crisscross Tote Bag tutorial was made with a BERNINA 550 Quilters Edition and features Happy Home fabric, a collection designed by Sew Caroline.
The Happy Home fabric collection is full of color and playful florals that we thought would make a perfect tote. You can never make/have enough totes, am I right? This tote is a perfect size to be able to use while running errands, a day at the beach or would even make a cute gym bag. The holidays are also around the corner and this would make for a wonderful gift to give.
In the Crisscross Tote project we learn how to use the BERNINA Walking foot #50 with seam guide for quilting and how to use the BERNINA Blindstitch foot #5 to apply the straps of the bag. We thought burlap trim would add a perfect touch to the tote as well as using contrasting quilting threads to really make the diagonal quilting on the pocket of the tote pop with color.
