Hello sew-friends! Have you noticed that lately, everyone says "spooky season" rather than Halloween? I think it's a justification for stretching out the Halloween decorations for a month or more before the big day. Or maybe, it's just a way to make the Fall season a little more fun and moody? Anyway, I'm here for it. Especially now that I'm living in Seattle again and the air is cold, the ground is wet and leaves actually change color. I've even decorated my front porch with a maroon and a yellow mum and it’s so nice to have that pop of color.

Today, to celebrate the season, I have a fun little Halloween themed craft to share with you. This tutorial will show you how to sew a simple tote with boxed corners and contrast handles. Plus, I’ve designed bat and ghost embroideries to decorate your tote. The tote is an average size and would work well for trick-or-treating or use it any day or night of the year to tote your favorite spooky books or craft projects.
