4 Charming projects with 1 charm pack - The Charming tote bag

Four Charming Projects with one Charm Pack

This is the 3rd project for the Charming Project series,  and in this post I'm going to share this beautiful tote bag project with you.

The finished measurement of this tote is about 14" x 11.5", a nice mid size tote, that is not only adorable but also very functional.

Fusible Fleece (I use thermolam Pellon TP971F) 
*Feel free to use interfacing of your choice 
1 Set of magnetic snap closure
