Summer Tote Bag: Burlap Birkin

A DIY Birkin(ish) tote for summer! You don't even have to be on a list or inherit one; there are plenty to go around. 

Yes, it's actually burlap, which is what the early settlers cross stitched on (maybe, who knows?) And it's lined inside, so it's water and stain-resistant. You could carry a bottle of champagne on ice in this tote, in case you get a sudden hankerin' for some bubbly! It's got comfortable carrying handles, black sides and handles (it's classy like that) and its shape is sturdy so it stands up well. Measures 12x12x7".

Kit includes:

burlap tote
instructions and pattern
one 2" sharp needle w/ big eye
floss in colors as shown

(champagne not included, sorry!)
