Christmas Totes

I love to make Christmas gifts.  I usually don't have the time to make anything elaborate, though, so when I saw this tutorial for tote bags on Pinterest, I thought I'd give them a go.  I decided it would go faster if I did it in more assembly line fashion, so I bought all my fabric and cut everything out first.  Then I took a surger to them and they were done within a matter of a few hours.

I love how they turned out.  Once I finished sewing the bags, and since I don't own a monogramming sewing machine, I used my dad's vinyl cutter and heat press to cut out gold monogram letters to personalize each bag.





I folded them up and rolled them instead of opting to wrap them.  This project really was quite easy and turned out surprisingly cute!
