Crafty Weekend: Project #2

Ok, so this is more like a finally finished project...but whatever. I'd had it cut out and some of it stitched together, but now it's ready to be used. This is the tote version of my grocery bags. I don't like it as much as the other style, but I already had it cut out so...

I decided it was too plain, so I added a flower out of ribbon, scrap of an old pair of jeans and some buttons:


Here's the bag. Fruit punch colored broadcloth, reinforced with iron on interfacing, gussets are a seersucker print and handles are from an old pair of jeans.



Oh, and here's the lining. It's a lime-y green floral on a white background. The flowers have the same pink center as the outside fabric.



Sorry the pictures aren't too great. It's really overcast and starting to get dark.

About Me

Boise, Idaho, United States
To live content with small means; to seek elegance rather than luxury; and refinement rather than fashion; to be worthy, not respectable; and wealthy, not rich; to study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly; to listen to stars and birds, to babes and sages, with open heart; to bear all cheerfully, do all bravely, await occasion, hurry never; in a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious grow up through the common. This is to be my symphony. William Henry Channing
