Indian Block Printed Shopping Bag

The Easy Peasy shopping bag could become addictive because it is such a useful base for adding decorative detail.


I love using Indian Wood Printing Blocks so the latest little shopping bag I've made was just the excuse for playing with wood blocks and paint.


I used a stiff Klona cotton fabric in a pale yellow.  The body of the bag is decorated with different wood blocks on each side.  The paint is Beryl Metallic Fabric Paint which leaves a lovely pearly finish although not obvious on these images.

I decorated the straps as well - only an excuse to use some of the smaller print blocks really!

 I like the neat finish of this bag created by using French Seams and which also makes the tote nice and sturdy.
