Beach Bound Straw Tote Restyle: Burlap and Bridal Lace

Here’s a note from WeAllSew reader Flavia with a great re-make of one of our projects from last summer. Love the lace over burlap combination! Jo

I have just completed the WeAllSew Beach Bound Straw Tote. It is a gift for my daughter’s 45th birthday this week. I downloaded the pattern and directions from the WeAllSew website. 

I tried an unusual combination of bridal lace over burlap. I did hand beading on the front combined with hot fix pearl decoration and a small purchased decoration. Handles are linen and brass. The edge is woven fabric.

The inside features a zipped pocket on one side, and three slide-in pockets on the other side for cell phone, etc.

I have been a BERNINA owner for about 35 years and am still learning new sewing features and capabilities. Thank you for all the creative inspiration! Flavia
