Creative’s Tote

Late last year I was approached by the then-editor of Quilters Companion magazine, Clare Mooney, to see if I would be interested in designing a tote bag for an upcoming issue (#84), scheduled to go on sale in March 2017. Once I got over the shock (pleasant shock of course!) of this amazing opportunity, I of course said YES! and got to work designing a tote bag for her readers. After several prototypes, what I finally settled on is what we now know as the Creative’s Tote!

The Creative’s Tote is a large sized tote bag that has been designed specifically with the creative maker in mind. It comes with several pocket options, both inside and out, allowing you to completely customise it to suit your needs. It also comes with both a handles option and a shoulder strap option as well.

Whether it be for sewing, knitting, arts and crafts, or simply to carry your books and belongings in on a daily basis, the Creative’s Tote is bound to meet your needs, and then some!
