Trix or Treat Market Tote

I watched Sailrite’s Market Tote howto which was the basis for the Insulated trix or treat tote bag.   The Halloween color scheme was great.  You got to have a way to keep the beer cold while your trick or treating.

I had been trying the blue apron meals for recipe ideas.  However there was a lot of packaging in getting  meal ingredients delivered.   It piles up when you don’t have curb side recycling.   Well the knock off reflectix was just begging for a project not quite electronics upcycling but recycling is good.

The tote was kind of built on the fly.    It is hard to make a pattern when using scraps and recycling materials.    It came out pretty nice.  A bit crooked on one seam as the faux leatherette slipped a bit.  I will need some more projects before I get into the fresh leather.   You don’t want to make a mistake in leather and have extra holes.

The box of shorts had some fun inside.
