Ruffled tote and tutorial
I have been wanting to make a cute ruffled tote for sometime now. With all the rain we had this weekend I got busy on the sewing machine.
I have lots of totes around the house I use for groceries. I know Michael’s sells the canvas ones if your looking for something a little more sturdy.
Tear some scrapes of fabric.
Gather the fabric a few times and push it through the presser foot machine, keep going and pushing till your at the end.
I have a step by step tutorial on easy sew ruffles here.
Pretty ruffles!
Sew those ruffles onto your tote, making sure the back of the tote is pushed at the bottom so you don’t sew your tote closed.
You can tuck the sides of the ruffles down at the ends and sew it if you want a finished look.
A pretty ruffled tote in about an hour!
Add any embellishments if you would like. I have a tutorial on rosettes here.

Very pretty! I don't sew, but this might just be easy enough for me!
Very,, very cute and sweet! I love it- xo Diana
This looks gorgeous, it is such a great idea for all that left over fabric xx
Now that is a stylish way to haul groceries! 🙂
Too cute!
I love this!!! So cute!
Love the fabric you used! Very pretty.
Very nice Kristin! and about the manicure……I had one manicure done in my entire life!
It's sure hard to decide Home Depot or a manicure….Home Depot wins. Have a lovely rest of the day. Ciao Rita
I love this tote bag….so cute!! Xoxoxo ~Ashley
Very sweet Kristin, love it!
Very pretty, Kristin! I do my ruffles the same way ~ just push the fabric together as I go. I'm working on drapery panels this week and need to incorporate some ruffle aspect to a piece I'm adding on to a panel. I've got my fingers crossed that it works!
Love it, Kristin!! The tote looks super cute!
XO,

oooh that is sooo pretty Kristen! Love it!
That bag is really lovely! For those of us who don't sew, would you consider making some for your store? 😉
Have you seen the sewing machine currently at Costco? so curious if you think its worth purchasing?
Hi Kristin! Oh, this is simply adorable!
Be a sweetie,
Shelia 😉
I love your ruffled tote! You will be grocery shopping in style!

Love your new tote! What a great job!

So cute and sassy!
That is adorable! Thanks for the inspiration!
Mercy, that is so pretty! And it looks so much easier than sewing those two lines and gathering them by hand…That takes 4-evah!
This is adorable! I've had a ruffle tote on my list to do forever. You've made it look easy!
