Green has been my favorite color the last couple of years especially when it comes to textiles. So you can imagine how I jumped on the order that requested rich greens. For the last few years, I've made tote bags using Army jackets that I've found at thrift stores. I had some of this left so I dug it out and worked with it again to create our newest tote. Instead of the traditional cotton strapping and webbing that we use on the other bags, I decided to try out this technique. I sewed together pieces from the cuffs and along the opening of the jackets to utitilize the buttons and the button holes.
