African Tulip Tote – Applique, Embroidery, and Sewing Pattern by Sue Spargo of Folk Art Quilts

Use this pattern to create a charming 21-inch x 16-inch folk art tote bag. Designed by Sue Spargo, the funky design features a textured bird on an embellished tree branch, layered leaves, flowers and berries. The pattern includes paper pattern pieces and applique pieces. 

The instructions will guide you in sewing the tote and in layering and embellishing wools, velvets, and cotton fabrics to create dimension and texture. Use Sue Spargo’s wonderful Creative Stitching book (sold separately) to help you personalize the design with embellishment stitchery.

The pattern back lists the fabric supplies and notions for making the tote.
