I bought this roomy black tote several years ago for about $7 at Big Apple grocery in Nob Hill. It has since served me quite well: worked through my moves, accompanied thrifting jaunts and successfully snuck in many snick-snacks at the movies. Recently, the original straps started fraying aggressively and the cherry, glitter iron-on looked more ho-hum than intended. I replaced the straps with wider webbing and added this petalish, drippy applique of various cottons. Now I'm all fancy-like and can be spotted carrying a bag full of butterflies.
Renewed tote, cotton webbing from safety straps, applique of recycled fabric: red & white cotton chintz, wine/pink cotton calico, accent of hot pink cotton & red ultrasuede.
