Lil' Girl Springtime Totes...

I have three beautiful granddaughters. I'm not exaggerating. You can see for yourself...

(I also have four adorable little grandsons, but I'll save that post for another day.)

Last year for Easter I made my girly grandbabies Lil' Girl Cupcake Totes, but I decided to devise a new pattern for this Easter and make them each a "Lil' Girl Springtime Tote." Again, it took me some time to tweak the pattern and make it just right, but here's what I came up with...

These totes might look a little familiar. They are sort of a spin-off from the pillows I made.

They are approximately 6.5 inches wide x 8 inches tall x 3 inches deep with 13 inch straps. Just the right size for storing all kind of treasures. They can even be used as scripture totes.

This morning I decided to share this pattern with you all, and I devised a tutorial that I will post tomorrow.

This is a simple tote to make and I have lots of photos of the process. The experienced sewer will be able to whip one up in no time, and the even novice sewer should be able to follow the directions and easily take a whack at it. I look forward to sharing...

Have a great day!
