Yesterday, I felt like doing a small achievable project, and so I made this tote bag...
...using the bottom two of these fabrics, which my lovely mum bought me as a gift and managed to squeeze into her suitcase...
and this pattern...
The fabric was a furnishing fabric and together with the interfacing, it was a little tough going when seams crossed but we got there. I made Tote A, as I liked the way the straps came down to the base of the bag. It has an outer pocket on the front and an inside pocket. With a cardboard base under the lining, it is freestanding and very roomy. Now that I have used the pattern once, it should be much quicker next time but it`s nice to do a small project, which is quick and produces something practical.
Today I`m linking up with
Stitched in Color`s Celebrate Color event and
Fabric Tuesday - hop over there and see what clever creative people have been up to.
