(WAY cute!) Butterflies Trail Tote by Richele Christensen
Hi friend! Happy Saturday! I’m delighted to welcome back special guest Richele Christensen with this gorgeous tote inspiration using new Tim Holtz Palette Canvas Cloth fabric in the super popular Teal Butterfly pattern! Read on for all the details and enjoy!
Hello friends! Today I’m so excited to share the NEW Palette Canvas Cloth from the Tim Holtz Palette Collection. There is 16 favorite designs from the Palette Collection! The fabric has a soft textural feel and it’s easy to work with. For the exterior of my bag I chose the Palette Teal Butterfly fabric (one of my all time favorites from this collection). The Palette Multi Ticket was cut to include only the green, teal and blue section for the lining. The accent for the bag is the Palette Teal Marble. The pattern is the Trail Tote by Noodlehead, it’s a wonderful bag that can be worn as a crossbody and the instructions are easy to follow.
Gather your supplies, cut out your pieces and iron the interfacing on.
Sew the darts in the corners of the exterior and lining pieces of the bag.
Mark the lines for the exterior pocket zipper. Sew on the lines, trim and flip pocket to the inside, press well.
Use a little glue stick to hold zipper in place and then top stitch close to the edges.
Work on the lining construct the inside pocket and sew to the lining piece.
Sew bag together leaving an opening for turning. Insert the handle tabs on each side.
Turn bag right side out, push lining to the inside and press well.
Stitch the hole closed used for turning. Top stitch around the top edge.
Add buckle to strap and sew ends in place.
Thanks so much for stopping by! I can’t wait to see some of your projects with this beautiful Canvas Cloth. Happy Sewing! -Richele

Beautiful butterfly bag!!!!
What an absolutely beautiful trail tote design! The butterfly theme is so creative and the fabric combinations Richele chose work perfectly together. I have been getting into sewing lately and projects like this really inspire me to try new techniques. I actually enjoy putting on some AI-generated music while I work on creative projects — it really helps me focus. Thank you for sharing this wonderful tutorial with such clear instructions!
This is so cool
This tote bag design is absolutely adorable! The butterfly trail idea is so creative and would make such a fun spring project. I recently used an AI image tool to generate some butterfly reference patterns for a similar craft project, and the results were surprisingly useful for planning color schemes.
What a beautiful tote bag design! The butterfly trail concept is so creative and the die-cutting techniques you used look really professional. I love how you combined different stamp sets to create a cohesive look. I recently started using an AI image generator to create custom fabric patterns for my own craft projects and it has been such a game-changer. Would love to try making something similar with some AI-generated butterfly designs!
This tote is absolutely stunning! The Teal Butterfly fabric is such a gorgeous choice for the exterior. I love how you paired it with the Multi Ticket lining – the color coordination is spot on. The zipper pocket detail adds such a professional touch too. I recently started getting into bag making and this Trail Tote pattern looks like the perfect next project for me. Thanks for the detailed walkthrough!
I love how this project combines beautiful fabric designs with a practical and stylish bag pattern. The Palette Teal Butterfly fabric sounds like a perfect choice for the exterior, and pairing it with coordinating teal, blue, and green tones for the lining creates a cohesive look.
The canvas bag is really beautiful, and the color is very elegant; I like it very much.
This butterfly tote is absolutely gorgeous! Richele always comes up with the most creative ideas. The way she used the Tim Holtz dies with the fabric is so clever. I would love to try making something similar for my granddaughter who is obsessed with butterflies right now. The color palette is so spring-like and cheerful. Thank you for sharing such an inspiring project!
This butterfly tote is absolutely adorable! Richele always comes up with the most creative techniques. The way the trail of butterflies cascades across the fabric looks so whimsical and professional. I recently started a video platform where crafters share their techniques, and this kind of project would be perfect for a tutorial. The color combinations she chose really make the design pop. Definitely pinning this for my next weekend crafting session!
This butterfly tote is absolutely adorable! I love how Richele always comes up with such creative and practical projects. I have been making music with AI at musicgpt.pro lately and would love to create a custom song about butterflies for my next craft video. The color palette on this tote is so cheerful and summery!
Beautiful project!! The butterflies are stunning. Thanks for sharing. Love your projects.
