Decorate a wool tote bag by precision quilting tools

This tote is supreme.  It came packaged really well. There was clear instructions, and three sample images that you can use. I wasn’t too fond of the styles. This tote has a dressy feel to me, so I wanted something a little different. I have plenty of dies, so I brought out my Sizzix, and decided to make a bow tie, using my French bow die. I used pretty blue green felt for the bow. The black rectangle measures about 8x6 and was really easy to work with. Sewing the rectangle on the tote was the hardest part due to the thickness of the wool and pocket placement in the lining. I tried hand sewing, but found it too difficult to get nice stitches, and getting enough of the grey without going through to the lining. So I pinned the rectangle in place, and brainstormed. I wanted a polished look to match the rest of the bag. So I was debating on gluing or using a appliqué fusing sheet. I decided to go with hot glue, after I tested a small area in the middle. It worked brilliantly. So I hot glued the rest to finish my bag. The quality of the bag is really sturdy and nice. The handles are smooth and are comfortable on my shoulder. There is a good amount of pockets on the inside, two open pockets and a zip pocket. There was no overtly wooly smell to the wool. I am very pleased with the final results.
