Parisienne tote

Wouldn't you love a shopping trip in Paris? If that's not possible, how about this gorgeous Parisienne shopping tote that folds up into a pouch?  It's super easy to sew; the extra little twist is the pretty picture.  You get to print this yourself - on fabric, using freezer paper and an inkjet printer. Choose from the four images provided or find your own picture.

With more and more shops going plastic bag-free, it's a good idea to always carry one of these with you. This project is suitable for beginner sewists and is a fun sew for the more experienced. Warning - you may not be able to stop at just one. Make a few for yourself or whip up a dozen as Christmas gifts.
