Field of Flowers Tote is a functional fun bag. It features flowers on both sides. The flowers can be made from scraps of cotton yarn or part balls, making this bag a great stash buster. It consists of two mandala type pieces worked in the round. The flowers are added as you go. There are step by step pictures to help. The Tote has stiffening in the base and outer edges to help hold the shape. It is not a lined bag as I have left it more of a market bag style look. The pattern also comes with instructions to make the polymer button and beads if you choose to make your own.
