Tumbling Blocks Santorini Tote with Cork Bottom and Straps



At the Modern Stitching Affair this spring, we got to learn weaving from the amazing Tara Curtis of Wefty Needle. I did not follow direction for the pattern and instead created a very random looking weave. BUT was in awe of people who were using the confetti ombre dots fabric and knew I had to create a weave out of it sometime. I picked out a ton of fabric; this green and neutrals for my mom and some different ones for myself.


After signing up for SewHungryHippie's newsletter and following her on Instagram, I knew I had to make the Santorini Tote WITH a cork bottom. I wove two panels to sew onto the cork. In hindsight, maybe I should have just wove one panel and cut it in half... next time!

I quilted around all the green hexies.

 

It's for my mom! She's sort of been watching me make it, but didn't know it's for her. Now to decide what to make with my colors...
