Petite Tote - how to make a beginner small tote/gift bags/mandarin orange bag

Pattern Link https://sewingseedsoflovestudio.com/p... This adorable little hand-carry tote was originally designed to be used as a carrier to hold mandarin oranges when visiting family and friends during the Chinese New Year. The mandarin orange is an important symbol of the Chinese New Year. The small citrus looks like the sun, and because the sun is aligned with the yang (positive) principle, it is a symbol of abundance and happiness. They are not only used as decorations, but given as gifts when visiting family and friends as a symbol of sharing abundance and good fortune. Apart from holding oranges, this little bag also has plenty of other uses! They make cute gift bags for various occasions and festivities. Works great as a little girl’s bag to hold all her favorite knick-knacks as well! A fun and apt beginner project for those who have yet to make a bag. The tote is fully lined, with cotton webbing as handles and sides are cinched up via magnetic snaps. Join Us! Join our Facebook Group for the latest updates!
