Block Printed Tote Bag for Making Magazine

We have another feature in this month’s Making Magazine! You can find it on pages 9 – 11 of the July 2015 issue.

We used MasterCut to carve two blocks and printed them with Versacraft Ink Pads onto fabric. The fabric was then made into a beautiful tote bag by Emma Herian!

You can find out how to make this gorgeous bag from beginning to end in the magazine but here’s a sneak peek into our printing process:

 

To make something similar at home you will need:

• Pattern templates found on page 84 of Making Magazine’s July 2015 Issue (or your own designs)
• Tracing paper
• Soft pencil
• 2 MasterCut 100mm x 100mm blocks (these come in packs of 2)
• Lino cutting tools
• Versacraft fabric inks pads (we used Cherry Red and Cerulean)
• Heavyweight tote bags
