new tote bag (aka season upgrade)

in January I had an idea for this tote bag, but waited 'till spring to show it to you. yesterday I finished the first model and gave it as a gift. looking forward to making one for myself and some more for Ulabelula although I bumped my head many times during the process of making it. logistics was a pain in the ass, hopefully the first time is the hardest time ;) it is hand painted, machine sewed and has an exterior back pocket.
sun + bike + this tote bag + a dress = me smiling

bring on the spring!
