when last we met, i had begun work on a tote bag in my sewing class. the next class ended up being postponed because the air conditioner wasn't working (and on an 85 degree day in a 2nd floor old house, you really need A/C...) but we were back on track on the 16th and i finished up the bag:
i chose a deep purple, floral fabric (to counteract all that cute animal stuff i'd been using, i suppose). it's lined in aqua and has 2 big pockets, with some little pockets sewn onto the big ones (see photo below). the bag could be reversible, but i sewed down the corners (much like i did for the
produce bag) to add some depth. all and all, i'm very pleased with it.

i've also been making some more wallets. i did a cute tree one for my good ol' buddy liz (didn't snap a picture)...and this rooster one:
my fabric stash is getting slightly out of hand:
our final class is the 23rd...skirt! in the meantime, i need to figure out if i'm going to take sewing 102 or quilting 101...
You're inspiring me to re-learn how to sew! Love the tote!
