My co-craft fair crafter is always making bags for other people. I learned of her recent birthday after the fact, and thought that she should receive a bag for a change! As I am in an applique phase, I made an applique bag. The screen print is one I made earlier, and I dug around in my closet for old t-shirts that I don't wear but couldn't bear to throw out because I liked the fabric too much. This dotty knit fabric had a prior life as a camisole, purchased at least 6 years ago, but now it lives on as a octopi screen print background, machine-sewed on to a organic cotton tote. The camisole was pretty small, enough fabric for only 2 printings, thus only 2 of these totes will exist in the world. I'm keeping the other one :)
