Diane Gilleland's How to Reverse-Appliqué a Tote Bag included a suggestion to check out Joan Hawley's patterns on Lazy Girl. In response, Joan deconstructs Diane's tutorial and finds easy ways to incorporate the technique into her own patterns.

Joan's alterations to the project bring a unique flavor to the tote bag, while maintaining the simplicity and ease of the technique. I'm sure there are many other ways to use Diane's technique to create fantastic designs on other bags as well. If you have any ideas for reverse-appliqué tote bags post them in the comments or use the gallery to post your own project photos.
