Hey everyone, Katie from Punk Projects here! Today I’m sharing the first post of three in a Sew-Along I am doing with you guys!

I used a bit of canvas and felt to create this fox tote bag sewing pattern that is perfect for Fall trips to the market or library! I just love the woodland critter trend.

    I think a lot of kids I know would enjoy this foxy tote for their books, toys, hobbies, etc. I don’t think I’d make one for myself, but it’s a cute idea and great tutorial!

    I agree with Kathy, it’s really cute for a kid. I prefer something less conspicuous for myself.

    Love the pattern but I think I’m going to use it for decorating a sweatshirt for the grandkids vs a tote.

    Ha! got me with the fox tail! I thought the front was pretty cute, but wasn’t expecting the back. I just might have to go get the supplies for this and make it.

    I love the “back shows the back” concept. My first one was a Mickey Mouse dress (now a tunic, lol) with MM in a pith helmet, peering through tall grass & on the back is MM’s backside as he’s bent over. I may need to build 3D fox ears, so the reverse doesn’t show the stitching.
