By the skin of my teeth!

I have been woefully negligent for the current project in the sew-along. I was finally able to sit down a throw together a tote bag from fabric from my stash. It's a good thing too, because today's the last day for this project!


I just made a simple tote bag. The main reason I haven't been able to sew is because my craft table was really messy.


And who wants to clean up a table to sew when knitting just requires a comfy place to sit?

My original plan was to make the Amy Butler Covington Bag. But I didn't because I can't find the pattern. Gleeps!

The fabric is kimono fabric that I bought a while ago. I think it's linen or cotton.


I liked the fabric too much to make it a lining for a bag. So I made the lining canvas to give it some stability.

Hello little pocket!

I'm just glad I did something for the sewalong. I hope that I'm able to do justice to the next project (and everyone will just have to wait for the official announcement to see what it is!).

What a great choice to use that as the exterior instead of the lining! That fabric is too cute to hide.

Nice chic tote - love the fabric. And I must agree with you - sewing takes up so much space.

I just did a double take on your Deep V pictures. The one in your post below makes the colors purple & gray and up here it looks like blue on blue! Digital Cams can be so crazy.
