The link is to the tutorial on how to make it. I have to say, See Kate Sew is a pretty cool sewing blog. I made a few changes in the directions and this is what I came up with:
Sorry for my crappy photography! I just use my iPhone.
My daughter picked out the fabrics she liked for the scallops. We varied the patterns, colors and textures, but all were cotton.
The directions called for 1/4 yard of each scallop fabric, but that was enough for me to make two bags! After sewing the scallops together and trimming, turning and ironing, I arranged them in a pleasing pattern.
I sewed them on the simple rectangular canvas bag and added handles and lining. I sandwiched my handles between the lining and the bag instead of sewing them on the outside like the tutorial suggested.
For a little visual interest, I added some fabric covered buttons. The lining is really cute too.
I'll try to get some photos of the bags in action. They were very easy to make!
