Tips- You can use any type of fabric to make a bread bag tote bag, but canvas or other sturdy fabrics will hold up better to wear and tear.
- If you are using a lining fabric, make sure that it is a lightweight fabric that will not add too much bulk to the bag.
- You can add a variety of embellishments to your bread bag tote bag, such as embroidery, appliqué, or rickrack.
- Be sure to wash and dry your bread bag tote bag before using it for the first time. This will help to remove any excess fabric dye or shrinkage.
