I finally finished a tote bag for daughter
Michelle today and I am very pleased with the result. I offered to make her a bag a few weeks ago
after she came over with some extra items in a plastic grocery bag. I had scraps of material from other projects
which I dug out and Michelle picked out the colours she wanted plus we spent
time on the internet picking out a pattern for a bag. We made a trip to town to purchase the
material for the lining and the concho for clasp a few days later. She didn’t want the scraps arranged symmetrical
which I thought was cool and turned out to be a challenge for my little
brain! I really thought it would be
easier as I would not have to worry about matching seams and making perfect
points but found out my mind wanted to work in symmetrical patterns, so I had
to force my mind to “think outside the box”.
I really did enjoy the challenge and process of choosing the pieces of
fabric, deciding how to put them together and seeing the bag come together
piece by piece.
Michelle is thrilled with the bag and it is just
right for her lunch, bottle of water and other items she wants or needs to
carry with her. |
