This Tote Bag is a natural off-white fabric It's ready to dye, paint, screen or marble. The Carry-all is made to hold a grocery bag. These are sturdy working bags made out of natural 100% 10oz cotton canvas. The inside seams are serged for extra strength and the handle connections are reinforced. We have a new source making them stronger, better, and with cotton thread so that they look really great dyed! Also a fantastic canvas for transfers, silk screening, fabric painting and other embellishment.
**Keep in mind that even though very strong, canvas is a large thread fabric, so can fray easily. Canvas also shrinks a lot in hot washer/dryer. Therefore all canvas products should be washed delicately.

I got one of each size to try out against some from a craft store.Something about the canvas they're made from leeches this icky yellow slime into the soda ash. It didn't seem to effect the other items in the soak but we dumped it after that batch anyway.They shrink when washed and dried. Similar items say to hand wash and air dry. Since we were tie dying them that wouldn't work so into the washer and dryer they went.Too thick to do very much in the way of designs on but hubby managed a heart on one. The dye tried to run away when applied but we just added more and it stayed. Seems to need to soak in VERY SLOWLY. The cotton handles were a plus. The craft store ones had poly handles and didn't hold the dye like these handles did.Kind of spendy. I ended up taking a loss on the price to make them affordable for my festival customers. Do wish they cost less but not if it meant a cut in quality.

I bought the carry all a couple years ago and after tiedyeing 5 or so figured out that to get them to take color evenly on the outside I had to turn the bags inside out to tie dye them. It worked really well nice bright colors. The thick canvas makes it hard to do spirals but they are strong. I've been using them for groceries and books since then with no problems.

I washed these before embroidering.some shrinkageas expected no frayed seams! Nice heavy canvas so they feel more expensive than they are. Black would be a nice option.

I ordered the Town Tote to stencil block print and embellish and I love this bag. It's so soft and flexible--the heavy canvas is always too stiff for block printing especially--it's still quite strong and I can easily stitch on my embellishments. It's also just the right size for me to be able to make a bunch of them in whatever technique I want and to be able to sell them for a price people like. Plus my order usually gets from CA to PA in three days so if I run out I can make more before the next show. I do wish they were washable.

Great bag - not super stiff like many canvas totes you find. But dyers be wary! Shrinks a TON upon washing (and I didn't even use hot water!). Size up majorly if you plan on washing!

I read the reviews on all the bags before buying these. They were just perfect. I needed them for a swap so I prewashed them and they survived the washing machine. Which I am not sure the craft store bags would. They are good and sturdy and a good size for a childs library book bag we've also used them as a picnic bag. They probably could even hold a towel and bathing suit for swim class. The craft I made involved sewing a wool felt coat of arms to one side. I first used double sided interfacing. Happily the bags are big enough that I could use my standard sewing machine to sew right down to the bottom of the bag. I am very satisfied and I am glad I decided to buy 12 for the reduced pricing even though I only needed 6 for the swap.

For a smallish tote this baby can hold a LOT. The handles are put on really well and everything is nice and reinforced. I used it to carry my laptop charger books and lunch to work every day.
