1. 

   

   first gather your supplies:
   
   fabric
   paper
   sissors
   
   (I used an old dress)

2. 

   

   now make your circle template
   
   I used a peice of card stock.
   
   I took a large glass, traced it with a marker and then cut it out




3. 

   

   now using the template, cut circles from your fabric

4. 

   

   so you get a pile of fabric circles like this




5. 

   

   now sew two squares of fabric at one end

6. 

   

   pin the circles onto the fabric(I used the zigzag stitch because I was using stretchy fabric)
   
   just keep sewing down the middle of the circles
   
   and repeat in lines/layers of circles
   
   try to leave a bit of space between circle layers, to let them flop.
   this creates the frill movement

7. 

   

   one all the circles are on, sew the sides up to form your tote

8. 

   

   now sew on some handles(you can use spare fabric)
   
   remember to reinforce the handles.

9. 

   

   now you have a very cute tote
