Julia's Poppies Design

Here’s a quick little project I have been meaning to make for about a year now. I finally made it a priority this weekend as my current tote barely fits my Mac and the zipper teeth scratch along the sides…it’s a pretty nasty sound. I just wanted a thin case to protect against scratches, nothing heavy duty.

MATERIALS

I bought all my materials at local thrift stores, where you can find great vintage craft supplies.

• Vintage Tea Towel- Most tea towels are a perfect fit, but any fabric would do.
• Yarn- I chose a macrame yarn because it’s thicker.
• Buttons- I initially was going to have a few buttons as to latch the front flap. I changed my mind halfway through and opted for just tying the yarn.
• Needle & Thread or sewing machine.
