GLA Sewing - a colourful jungle themed tote with bright stripes

I created a tote bag with some of the final scraps of the jungle fabric I committed to earlier this year!!  I have added some strips of cotton blend in coordinating colours to make the panel wide enough for a tote bag (13" x 18").  The back piece was pieced but you can hardly tell as the pattern lined up almost perfectly.  The handles, bottom and top edge are also from cotton blend fabric which is closer to a jade colour rather than the turquoise it seems to be in the photos.  I added a red broadcloth (cotton polyester blend) lining, a purple pocket inside and boxed the bottom corners.  I added an elastic and button closure in between the handles.  Totally fun project!!  Another item going to the GA merchandise inventory for our fall events.
