My 11 year old "graduated" from elementary school this week (seriously, where does the time go!?!?!) so we've had lots of family visiting.
That coupled with the fact that my sewjo disappeared again after I finished my oakshott pillows means that I haven't seen my sewing machine for the past week or so. But for some reason, I actually was briefly motivated to sew when I had a few minutes alone during my youngest daughter's nap this week. With the limited time I had, I just wanted to sew something quick and easy so I decided to use my tutorial to make another "simple to sew" tote bag.
While I was sewing this bag, I started thinking about different variations to make with this tutorial so I'm excited to try and see if some of my ideas will work (and you know I'll share them here whether they are successes or failures!)

ReplyDeleteLove the strapping you chose :)
ReplyDeleteGlad you found some time alone for yourself and sewing. :)
ReplyDeleteThe bag is beautiful. Glad you could finish a quick little project when you had a little time. Just to let you know, your giveaway post says new comments are not allowed. Any idea why that would be?
ReplyDeleteI love the two fabrics together - really cute!
ReplyDeleteLove it! That essex linen is always a favorite with me!
ReplyDeleteI understand too well the where did the time go feeling. My daughter will be 11 in August and finish her primary schooling in December (Australian school year). It wasn't that long ago she was a chubby baby and I was a new Mum!
ReplyDeleteCute! I might have to make one for a few readers in my life! Maybe one for myself too!
