It is rare that I A.) sew for fun and B.) end up making something I actually like and will use. Last Sunday I spent a few hours (like 4-5 total, not a quick project) on this nice, big tote bag. I bought the fabric a couple weeks ago just because I really liked the pattern. Then, when I got the sewing itch, I bought a Simplicity pattern (see below) on sale for $1 to make a new bag for the fall. I think the extra details of the bag (the pleats and the band) made it really special and worth all the work. I've been using it for a few days now and I love it! It doesn't have any pockets, but I organized my stuff with a zippered makeup bag, wallet, and a couple totes for Luke's things.

ReplyDeleteDo you have anymore fabric? ;-) Je le veux!!
ReplyDeleteI hope my fabric is that cute! I know, I told you plain tan but I also said if you find some thing cute, I would trust your judgement! :)
ReplyDeleteWow Malorie, that turned out awesome!! I wish I had your sewing talent (maybe I wouldn't have to shop so much!).
