Premade Summer
Thursday, February 11th, 2010Premade Summer
make my own totes?
this summer i wont be able to go to camp or hang out with friends (my mom and dad have to work all summer so i won;t have a ride and they don;t like me to go place when they can;t drop everything to come get me if i need them, over protective i know) but anyways i thought i would try to make some totes so when schoo starts I will have cute unique fashionable totes 
where can i get buttons and patches like on these bags? (i want to order online) ( and i am not going to copy this design i just like the patches/buttons)
http://www.journeys.com/catalog_detail.aspx?c=apparel&s=girls%2fHandbags&id=71400
also if i want to have a background like a pattern i buy from walmart or something how would i make that into a tote sturdy enough to hold my binder everyday? should i just sew it to a premade tote i get from a local draft store?
thanks
also i might sell them if they turn out well how would i go about that? (school maybe even ebay) like prices and stuff
thanks
Make your own! (It's called applique:
http://www.nmia.com/~mgdesign/qor/begin/applique.htm
http://www.freeapplique.com/
(and many more sites... just google applique)
As far as making your own totes, sure, it's a fun (and potentially profitable venture). You might want to use something like cordura nylon (it's the stuff they make backpacks out of) for very durable totes. Sources:
http://www.specialtyoutdoors.com/tips/sources.asp
Excellent book on making all sorts of bags and totes, suitable for beginners: Nancy Restuccia's book, "Hold it!" (which you may have to get from the library). Joan Hawley (Lazy Girl Designs) has a number of other bag patterns that are cute and easy.

Note that most sewing patterns are not licensed to make something for sale.... so you may be best off learning the methods and tricks of the trade from Hold it! and then designing your own patterns for stuff you'll sell.
