Mini Wool Tote

The mini wool and leather tote project was inspired by the Tiny Bag pattern by sewcanshe.com. This cute little tote bag is small handy to use. Substituting wool and leather details helps elevate the finished pouch and be sewn with a standard Janome sewing machine. This project omits the lining for a quick project. This would be a special gift to share or one to enjoy making for yourself.
