Hollyhock Tote Bags
I got a bit behind, but we're all entitled to a sick day once in awhile, right? Here's what I came up with for the gorgeous fabric from Dayle's. Working with this fabric, which was designed by Stephanie Brandenburg of Fern Hill, was like sewing a watercolour painting; the Seminole patchwork on the top of the bag blends so softly with the print.

The bags are beautiful. I will have to go see Dorreen. I am not struck on Seminole but I have to admit it looks great on these bags. I just may have to try it now. Thanks!!

ReplyDeleteHi Karen-
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for using my Hollyhock Dolls and Garden Garments Collection in such a beautiful way! Your tote design really shows off the large prints but still has that wonderful touch at the top. It really shows the versatilty of the designs.
Thanks! I can't wait to see what you do with future lines!
The bags are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThose bags are lovely. I will keep my eye out for some of the fabric. It may entail a trip out of town...
