I'm so excited to share this awesome, rufflelicious (might not be a word but it is now!) tote with you all! The Rimini Ruffle Tote is such a romantic design with the ruffles, but with the right fabric/vinyl, it can be super cool and edgy! It's available in English and Swedish HERE.
This is a large tote that comes in two sizes with plenty of room. Perfect for a day on the beach or on the town. The turquoise colored one on the cover is the regular size, this pink one is the tall size (MORE ruffles! ;) ):
It's fully lined, and it has a generous zipper pocket and a pretty slip pocket inside.
Finished size tall Rimini: ~17” (45cm) high, ~12” (30cm) wide at the bottom, ~15” (38cm) wide at the top and ~4” (10cm) deep.
Finished size regular Rimini: ~14” (35cm) high, ~12” (30cm) wide at the bottom, ~15” (38cm) wide at the top and ~4” (10cm) deep.
It has a sturdy bottom which makes it hold its shape very nicely even when fully packed.
You can of course make it in a cotton fabric if you prefer, both methods are described in the pattern. If you don't like raw edges/backs on your ruffles, cotton is the way to go. This version is made with quilting cotton from Leafy Greens BlendedThread and a foam interfacing for added stability.
I added vinyl straps, but the straps can of course ba made in cotton too.
My amazing pattern testers were awesome as ever and tested the pattern for me, and they have done such an awesome job!!! A sincere thank you goes out to each and everyone one of you for helping me make each new pattern - into my best pattern yet!
I'm so very grateful for all your help and hard work, I could not do this without you!
