DIY sewing tutorial: Tea towel book bag with dividers

Tea towels are pretty for the kitchen, but they also make great shortcuts for sewing!  Julie of Sum of Their Stories has a DIY sewing tutorial showing how you can use three tea towels to make this book bag.  Using the teal towels cuts out a loft of steps so it’s easy enough for a beginner.  Plus there are dividers inside to help keep your things neat and organized!  Go to Sum of Their Stories to see how to make it.
