Jane's Garden Tote

We don't exchange gifts like we used to. It's getting harder to know what someone might want anyway. So I decided to make my aunt a garden tote. We both like orange. I think this looks great! The outside pockets are furniture fabric samples and the handle is a thrift store belt! So chic!
