by Linda Theil When I saw Jess at OklaRoots on YouTube demonstrate construction of this Sallie Tomato pattern, "Scarlett" , I thought it would be perfect for my cousin who wanted a 12 x 12 tote. I downloaded the inexpensive pattern PDF from the Sallie Tomato site, printed the file, and assembled the pattern pieces in no time. I had ordered striped yardage, panels, and coordinates from the Jim Shore "Nordic Noel" collection for Benartex last year, so I had lots of options for putting together a pretty tote. Front "Scarlett" tote Back "Scarlett" tote I was inspired to create a bag bauble by Tania Martin at Beautiful Faux Leather and Vinyl . She posts her "Bag Bling" tutorials on her Facebook page. I used one of the "Nordic Noel" panel motifs for an inside patch pocket. The strap had a clean and easy insertion. I used Decovil Light and Pellon fusible midweight for interfacings.
