Today we will continue our popular series on how to cover up logos on bags with an example of a turtle shopping tote which we recently made. The shopping bag had a big logo on its front side which we hated and so, being turtle and tortoise nerds, we decided to hide it under a tortoise. 😀 This tortoise design is also a very good example of what one can still do even with tiny scraps of fabric, since the tortoise’s scutes (shell plates) consist of tiny remnants of fabric from other projects, which we sewed on top of each other in a decorative way using an embroidery stitch on our sewing machine. The tortoise’s shell and body parts consist of somewhat bigger scraps of fabric from old garments.
The tote also had a slogan printed on its handles, which we covered with a textile gift ribbon in a matching colour. Finally, we embroidered a face and some lettuce on our tortoise design. 🙂 In our opinion, this is a design any turtle or tortoise nerd of any age will love.
