This tote is made from 100% reclaimed fabrics! Khakis, a skirt and a shirt all come together to make this chic, pretty and practical tote.
I am entering this tote in the Eco Chic section of the Tote-ally Crafty Bag Challenge. This tote is made from 100% reclaimed fabrics, and is my own design. The brown fabric was once a pair of slacks, the lovely aqua fabric was a skirt, the pockets from a pair of jeans, and the lining of the tote was from a very cool men's shirt!
Using reclaimed/upcycled fabrics is one reason this bag is eco friendly. Another reason is because it can (and should) be used for shopping -- in place of those plastic bags!
My tote deserves to win this Eco Chic challenge because it uses all reclaimed fabrics, can be used to reduce waste, is chic and well-constructed... and doesn't look recycled!

Play Ball: This category celebrates the most inspired use of yarn. Be it by stitch, loop or some other daring technique, show us just how far some skeins of yarn can go when put to the challenge.
All That Glitters: You'll have to get your bling on for this category, for we are looking for the most spellbinding use of embellishment. Think: eye-catching, head turning, and Va Va Voom WOW!
Eco-Chic: If you are an ardent recycler or a master of innovation (or both) this category is for you. Make a tote bag out of the brilliant use of recycled, or unconventional materials.
