Redwood Tote Bag - oriental fabrics

 While I was sewing with friends last week, I made another Redwood Tote Bag. For this one, I used some oriental fabric. Also, instead of the regular interfacing, I tried fusible foam. It worked great! The only issue is that when you quilt the foam sandwich, it shrinks. So net time, I know to quilt the pieces first, then trim them to the correct size. I even tried some fussy cutting - notice I got the crane in 2 different optimal places. I used antique gold hardware by Sallie Tomato. And I used waxed canvas for the strap, bottom and strap handle attachments.
