Bag with Stephanie Brandenburg

Hi Everybody!
My goal with fabric is to bring cottons into our everyday lives, to make cottons relevant in areas of our lives besides quilting. Quilting is my first love, but there are so many other uses for this fun, diverse fabric. One of those uses is the Daydream Shopping Tote. This tote is perfect for holding fabric, books, templates and sewing supplies. The design of this bag let's you be artist. You can embellish it with buttons, thread play, lace and whatever you can imagine! So have fun and complete a great project at the same time. (Kit will be available for purchase - pattern purchase required)
