violin tote and giveaway winner!

i've been busy making new bags for my etsy shop update i'm planning. it won't be ready until the end of the month so i'm not showing anything off yet, but i did make myself a new tote bag.

i thought it was time to show of my musical nerdyness via tote. {the best way to go imho} i stenciled the violin and the appliqued it on. and stenciled the strings and "music" and then stitched over it.

and then i stenciled the bow, stitched the bow hair, and added a ruffle all around the top {cause it was looking kinda boring}

 i like it!
