Keyka Lou Grocery Tote

I'm participating in the Stash Contest at patternreview.com.  Each year, my goal is to beat my previous year's goal.  I still need to check back to see what I need to beat this year.  These are my first finished projects from Keyka Lou.  I made two grocery totes using a canvas purchased at a thrift store a couple years ago, a not-the-best dye job on the gray cotton lining, and a midweight denim (scraps) for the handles.  I also used a bold straight stitch (#2 stitch on my pfaff) on the handles of one of the bags to make the top-stitching stand out more.  At approximately one yard each, I now have two yards to add for the year 2012.
