Nautical Ruffled Tote

 

Every time I agree to make one of these bags,  I always procrastinate because of the amount of work it takes.  But every time I finish one, I am so proud of how it turns out and this nautical themed ruffled bag is no exception.  This was a custom request for a friend and she loves it! 

To see the other ones I've made go here for the first one I made and here to see the cherry themed one.

To make your own, this is the tutorial I originally saw on Pinterest and based it on but tweaked,  Or if you would rather pay me to make you one, I will :)

Aaarrrrhhhh! Pirate Wallet

I have a habit of buying fabric and never getting around to using it and this piratey print I got at Joann's is no exception.  A while back, I was really into making these little card wallets (excuse the quality of the pictures--they were from before I learned how to take quality photos) and would pre-cut out all the pieces.   But then I would get distracted with another more fun project, and those cut pieces just sat in a drawer, forgotten.  So, as I was looking through my fabric stash for another project, I came across the pirate print and in true me form, I got distracted from the first project and decided to finally put together the wallet :)  The only thing I did differently is that I used fabric for the back pocket opposed to the vinyl I was using before.  I like the fabric pocket much better.

 

The back pocket.
