Small Spice Tote Bag

Sometimes you want a bag that you can get into easily and not fuss about with fastenings and this is just the right bag.  This is a small lightweight fully lined tote bag with short leather straps.

For this lightweight bag I used a modern cotton print from Robert Kaufman designed by Carolyn Friedlander in Spice with some lightweight interfacing.  The lining is Essex Linen in Carrot  The straps are soft brown leather.

The approximate measurements of the bag when laid flat are:  W17" x L11" or W43 cms x L28 cms.  The straps add an additional  6¾" or 16.5 cms.
