Rope Handled Tote Bag Tutorial

The combination of sturdy fabric and rope makes this rope tote bag ready to handle any task.

You’ve seen rope bowls and rope rugs, but have you considered incorporating the rope sewing trend into a tote? The result is full of texture with added sturdiness perfect for toting picnic supplies, sports equipment, or an adventure to the farmer’s market.
