I was itching to sew something yesterday, so I made a little tote bag for my mother. We have a standing date on Monday mornings to attend Eucharistic Adoration. Every week when I pick her up, she is juggling several small prayer books, and I wish she had a tote bag for them. Now she does!
I included a zipper pocket in the lining for her rosary beads. Thank you, Kindred Quilters, for teaching me this infinitely useful technique!
Blue is her favorite color, so I think she will like it. I'll include a chocolate bunny and give it to her for Easter.
Even the simplest projects leave behind big messes!
Main Fabric: Phillip Jacobs Waltzing Matilda
Cut fabric rectangles 12" x 24" for outer and lining
15" long straps (cut 3" wide)
You amaze me every day, Tina! I'm so glad you are using the technique you learned in our Class. I'm sure your Mom is going to LOVE her new tote bag.
