Doctor Who Patches Tote Bag!

 Doctor Who Patches Tote Bag!  I love tote bags! There is this discount store near my house that sells things that are "mess ups" mostly with monogramming. This bag is huge and sturdy--and I love those rope handles. For $5 I brought it home.  I used my tiny scissors and seam ripper and unraveled some of the monogramming. The patches didn't quite cover the letters, so I needed to remove some embroidery.  Then I got these fabulous Doctor Who themed patches from Melarky store on Etsy. Just message them what you want and they will get it made for you. They also do custom work! If you want Doctor Who patches, let them know you saw it on Doodlecraft! Their patches come with a heat adhesive on the backside. Just peel off the paper.  Place on the tote and cover with a tea towel. Then iron gently for a couple minutes.  Then remove the towel! You can stitch them afterwards if you want, but they are quite secure!  Perfect for the...

 80's Retro Tote Bag with She-Ra & Thundercats Patches! I love the 80's! Such nostalgia with the fun cartoons.  I love She-Ra, I love Thundercats! I've shown them both to my kids too...still classics!  My friend makes these amazing patches!  Melarky Store on Etsy! They even do custom designs, so if you need a patch made, they can do it! They sent me this fabulous package of patches!  I got this fun black tote from Oriental Trading.  Just remove the paper backing on the back of the patches.  Place them on the tote.  Cover with a tea towel and iron gently.  The glue adhesive works great, but I like to do a zig zag stitch as well.  Next, get some fun fabric for lining your tote.  I chose a black and white polka dot fabric.
