TOTE BAGS!!!!

Ki Ora It's me Darlene and today I am going to talking about tote bags we started making tote bags because of all the plastic that's going down the drains and then out to the sea and then on to the beach, where birds sea life can eat and then die.  so that's why we are making the bags.

Steps of making the tote bags:

1. Get two peaces of calico

2.Draw a little picture and the cut it out

3. The pick a colour for your screen print

4.Then when your screen print is dried then get your other calico and pin it together.

5.When there is a spare sewing machine the hop on it and sew slowly.

6. when your bag is done then do your straps sew them together

7. the add your straps to the bags and then iron  your bag and the start on your second bag.

How this my learning  is that when it was learning how to sew with Ms sands next to me it just made my mind change to tote bags  and ever since have been doing tote i've been learning how to sew all my bags just to get the hang of it.

all of us :)
