I love all the awesome panels that come out with the custom fabrics, but sometimes they are just a little TOO big to really showcase on a purse. However, they are PERFECT for a giant tote bag like the Siren!
 |
| Totally. |
The Girls Rule the Galaxy panel from Backstitch Fabrics has a great background and vibrant colors so I tried to get as much of it as I could!
 |
| So many of my favorite characters! |
The main fabric has so many great images, it was nice to be able to show them all off on the back of the tote bag!
 |
| Peering down into the abyss of this tote bag |
 |
| Glimpse of a Walker on the pocket, it needed to be part of this bag! |
Inside, I used a licensed print that matched nicely, plus the extra pieces of the panel became a slip pocket. This tote bag doesn't have any extra pockets as part of the pattern, but it's so easy to add in pockets and other features!
 |
| Gold metallic ink on the straps means I had to use gold hardware! |
 |
| The straps are LONG so they are easy to wear over the shoulder |
The only hardware this pattern calls for is the rectangle rings to connect the straps, just enough bling to make the bag feel a little fancy, without weighing it down. I used the uncorked fabric for the straps, a subtle print that matches so many of my fabrics!
 |
| So Spacey! |
The base is vinyl, which gives it a little extra protection when you set it down. I used a pretty glitter black vinyl, totally spacey!
 |
| The bag is soft so it can be stuffed full, but it can stand up by itself...for a few minutes ;) |
I love this panel so much that I grabbed an extra when they had retail, so I can definitely make another of these bags!
