Creatures Scorpio Tote (XOXO by Lauren)

Another fun Backstitch fabric from my collection made this awesome Scorpio Tote from XOXO by Lauren look amazing!

Forbidden Forest!

Fang!

This is a sleek bag. It's pretty big but also very thin! Perfect for laptops! There are minimal pockets, just an inside slip pocket and zipper pocket, and the top has a zipper to close it all up.

Inside has the same creatures fabic

Perfect for carrying a (mini) gamekeeper!

I had to modify the pattern a little to really show off the panels since I wanted to have more of the creatures fabric and the panels weren't quite as wide as the entire bag. I can't remember exactly how I did it, but I think I just laid the 2 fabrics right side together, drew a diagonal line, and sewed on it, then cut off the extra and cut the new piece to the lining size.  I feel like there was some quilting experience called into play, but it's been a while since I made this tote and I'm lucky if I remember what I did last week...

Mini Hagrid was modeling the bag for me

I dug into my stash and found some epic hardware to make this bag even better! The Hogwarts crest connectors were some I bought because they were pretty and had no idea what to use them on...this was perfect!

These are pretty heavy hardware, but so pretty!

The night-mare zipper tape and hallows zipper from Wizardry, Stitchery, and Crafts looked amazing with this fabric!

Even the zipper is magical!

Rainbow webbing adds a fun touch

This tote bag order had a few fun extras! I made a teeny backpack and matching hand sanitizer carrier. 

The teal glitter vinyl is one of my favorites

It matches the bag perfectly!

I don't have a snap for EVERY occasion, but I do have a snap for most!

I had a little fun using my Hagrid and Norbert figures to try to show how small the teeny backpack really is...and it's so adorable!

'C'mon Norbert, get in the backpack'

'Who's a good dragon?'
