Be the most fashionable Trick or Treater on your block with this strong and durable funny-faced carry-all! Even Mom can take it to the store or quilting class and carry all her supplies and get lots of smiles along the way! Easy construction, fusible raw edge appliqué design for beginners and expert stitchers. This will be a favorite bag to use every fall, Halloween or not! I like to encourage stitchers to choose their favorite colors and patterns, brights, neutrals, primitives, fancies...whatever YOU like! Don't be afraid to experiment! The pumpkin is machine appliqued with a "blanket stitch,” but a zigzag stitch is fine if that's all your machine offers. I suggest using a walking foot for the applique and for joining the front to the back. Would even make a cute market bag!

Your finished tote bag will be approximately 13” wide x 15” high.
