My Summer Tulip Tote with Sirena Fabrics

I am loving my new Summer Tote!!! I purchased the Tulip Tote pattern by Stubbornly Crafty a bit ago and was just trying to decided on fabrics when I saw Sirena Fabrics by Jessica Swift and knew it would be perfect! 

I love the large floral print...plus there is purple!!! It is perfect for the focal fabric and the Sea Kelp adds a modern touch mixed with Art Gallery Denim!

Fabric: 

I purchased mine at Fat Quarter Shop (affiliate links)

1.  Sirena Storm Ocean Floret - Jessica Swift for Art Gallery Fabrics

2. Sirena Storm Sea Kelp- Jessica Swift for Art Gallery Fabrics

3. Art Gallery Denim - Wicked Sky 

I took my new tote to work today and saw these lovely flowers outside my building....so I had to snap a few photos. I only got a few weird looks from other employees ;).

I really love the Tulip style top of the bag. It is so unique and the first I have seen! Don't worry...it wasn't too tricky either! 

I chose to quilt each section of my tote as I love the way it looks! I always forget how long it takes to straight line quilt a project. I think that took me the longest!

Below is the Front/Back of my tote...they look very very very similar! Do you have a favorite side? I can't decide!

Thank you so much for reading! Have a great day sewing!
