To design my tote bags, I first start by examining the fabric and choosing the colors that will match the canvas fabric, zippers and straps that I have. Once I have all of my materials, I cut the patterns and stack them neatly for the next step of the process.



I can now begin the sewing process! I like to create multiple bags at a time in somewhat of an assembly line.




After hours of work, the final product is ready! See the full Guatemala Tote Bag collection featured in this article here.
