Reversible Echo Totes

It's been buzzing around blogland for quite some time now you've probably not missed out on hearing about Lotta Jansdotter's latest fabric collection; Echo.
If you have not seen it in person yet, go buy some it is fantastic!! As soon as I opened my order I wanted to abandon all other projects and sew with it.

I think the prints are perfect for every day use, so a bag it had to be. But with most bag patterns I use a combination of prints and I could not make my mind up which print to feature and which to use for the lining and or pockets. So I decided not to choose at all and make reversible totes!



I drafted a simple pattern after browsing through lots of images of reversible totes on Google. I had never done a one piece bag before and it took me a while to figure out how to sew the handles closed, but after spending some quality time with Mr. Seam Ripper I managed to figure it out ;-)


I love this slouchy hobo style bag, it's a casual every day shopping, going to the beach, running an errand type of bag.  But all that is just an excuse to carry around a bit of Lotta with you every day ;-)
