Good afternoon! I hope everyone is having a lovely weekend. I know I sure am. It has been way too hot to be out of doors this past week, so I decided to put in some machine time. I cannot tell you how long I have wanted to make a tote! I love my Vera bags, but I just had the hankering to make one myself. I thoroughly enjoyed making this one, and I'm sure this was not meant to be as time consuming as it was. The handles on the pattern were not near long enough, but I didn't realize that until I got them cut out and top stitched. That just figures. But I did recut and make them longer. The fabrics I used are Red Bird in the Bowers by Kathy Schmit for Moda.
