Finshing:
Using Yellow yarn, thread a tapestry needle and slip st the bottom of the tote closed. Either crochet 2-4 buttons or using regular buttons, sew 2 buttons on back of pocket as shown in photo, (for best results, position buttons higer to the top of the pocket than shown in photo). Once the buttons have been sewn on, position the pouch on the inside of the bag and use the buttons to 'button' to sun front, (slip buttons through the open weave of the sun so buttons will represent 'eyes'). Sew the other 2 buttons to the back of tote to represent the sun's eyes, or tack false eyelashes on. If desired, a smile can be embroidered on. This is just right for little ones spending the night at friend's homes, carrying color books, nighties etc. The pouch can hold small sunglasses, toothbrush, etc.
