Monogrammed Tote Bags
The girls each take a tote bag to school every day to carry bottles, lunch, jackets, etc. I picked up some pink canvas tote bags for this purpose but kept getting confused over which one was Sophie’s and which one was Audrey’s because they were identical.
The solution was to monogram them! I embroidered each girl a bag with an appliquéd initial and their name underneath using the Gigi Alphabet from Planet Applique. Now it’s easy to tell which bag to put the bottles in!
If you’re thinking about investing in a monogramming machine, I’d recommend the Brother PE800. It has a 5Ă—7 embroidery field and it’s really nice to have a separate embroidery machine so you can still sew at the same time you’re monogramming something!
