Ubushobozi's Work to Market Tote Kit
Carry the stylish Work to Market Tote around town made with vibrant African wax fabrics and give back to a community in Rwanda, Africa. The Ubushobozi is a women's cooperative that teaches young girls the skills they need to be successful and provide income for their families. Ubushobozi means power and ability. Purchasing this tote kit helps benefit the Ubushobozi Collective.

This tote kit contains a pattern and Authentic African Prints for the inside and outside of the bag and the strap, by the Ubushobozi Women's Collective. The wax prints are a form of non-verbal communication among African women. Each print has meaning and they are used in many of their cultural celebrations and have become collectible.

The hand dyed cotton fabrics included in this kit are stiff due to the manufacturing process of the cloth. After you have made your project, machine wash it in cold water on gentle cycle and dry on a delicate setting or air dry. The fabrics will soften and the waxy sheen will dissipate. To learn more about the Ubushobozi Women's Collective visit ubushobozi.org.

Fun to make - came out great!

I loved this project! It was fun and the person who received it uses it all the time. I felt good about the purchase of the kit because proceeds go to a women's group in Rwanda, from whence these gorgeous fabrics originated!

Ubushobozi’s Work to Market Tote

I really enjoyed putting this together and adding my own touches. The wax print fabrics were so easy to work with and the directions are pretty easy to follow. I like that this comes from enterprising Rwandan women.

Pattern and picture are not the same

Love the fabrics but I wanted a more rounded bag like the picture. The pattern is for a square one. That compounded by getting 3 wrong orders before getting this made me very disappointed.
