MEL's Creator Tote Collection
MEL's Creator Tote Collection features reverse applique for a fun way to create multiple looks from one design!Ā
MEL's Creator Tote Collection invites you to grab some of your favorite fabric and thread and stitch up your next bag! Featuring reverse applique, this is a design collection you'll love to stitch up!
With the fun reverse applique technique, you can choose the way the design comes alive by changing the background fabric! This collection includes the fun MEL's Creator Tote that has many uses. It's 15" wide, 15" tall, and 5" deep - making this a great tote to toss a 12" cutting mat in and all your supplies needed to go to class.
The bag is fully lined and features a flip lock closure on the front to keep all of your belongings inside while still looking very chic. Add the optional grommets on the handles for a little more decoration! A full-width pocket on the back lining and a 3-in-1 layered zipper pocket on the front lining means there's a place for everything. Magnetic snaps on the sides create more structure while feet on the bottom of the bag add an extra special touch.
With this same design collection, you can create a beautiful Wine Bottle Tote (5" x 15" x 4" deep) to takes to your next gathering! Featuring the same reverse applique designs and a cinching closure, this is a great way to show off that fabric you love that you don't have lots of anymore. Need a quick hostess gift? Stitch up the Wine Bottle Tote and the matching coasters (4.75" x 4.75") and you have a quick, customized gift anyone would love.
MEL's Creator Tote Collection will inspire you to spend more time creating this year - at home or on the go!

I have made all of them except the shopping bag but I love all of them! I have learned so much. I had never made a purse before MEL's Bag of the Month Club but I won't be stopping now!!
