Beautiful and very creative… can you please share the sewing pattern for this tote bag.. I am having difficulty in getting the bottom portion of my tote bags cut and stitched properly. Your tote looks so neat and nice. If you dont mind, can you please share the cutting and sewing pattern for the tote’s base?

Wow great imigination! I love it. I also used a platic bag for a tote which I gave it to me doctor and she uses it all the time for the farmers market also to put her knitting mateials in. I have to move the pictures from cafemom to facebook so everybody can see what I am talking about.

[...] Set the iron to medium heat and stroke across the plastic pile slowly and evenly. The heat from the iron will fuse the plastic sheets underneath. Remove the iron and press against the pile with a thick towel to let it cool down slowly. Please don’t touch it as it is quite hot for your bare hand to handle it. As it cools, the plastic pile will harden and shrink a little, you will hear some creepping sound. If you skipped this step, your plastic pile will shrink and roll up while it cools, as a result, you won’t get a flat plastic sheet.Take a closer look of how it looks after the fusing. See, they are bonded together!!! You need to try out a few times to get the right temperature. The photo shown below was my failed trial. The reason being was that I set my iron temperature too high and the plastics were melted and formed holes. If you find that you plastics are not fusing, that means your iron is not hot enough, increase the temperature or stroke it longer. If you have any questions, please do leave comments below and I will get back to you as soon as possible. Good luck. UPDATE *** I have used this fused plastic sheet combined with other material to make a tote bag. [...]
