An Island Batik Ambassador Adventure
Our April IBA project was “Adventurous Applique.” This played perfectly into a little project I have been wanting to do – a little project tote bag. I pulled out a number of the six inch strips from the rolls we received from Island Batiks, cut them into various strip widths and sewed two sets together. I sewed those to a neutral top.
I pulled out my bag of IB scraps and cut a bunch of long skinny flower petals. I fused a stem and then fused the petals. I did the flower as a raw applique and added a center.
A lining was added and voila! A cute little project tote bag that’s full of color, color, color!

What a cute bag!
Thank you – it does make me smile!
That’s a great bag! I like the combination of the pieced fabric with the applique. It really gives another level of interest to the bag.
It was fun to mix it all up and to play with several fabrics in a small application. Thank you!
So bright and lovely – you have done a great job indeed!!
I so appreciate the encouragement!
It’s handy and cheerful! Great job! 🙂
And fun and quick!
Love it …the azalea looks lovely, too
What a clever way to incorporate a bunch of techniques into one little project!
