I’ll Show You Mine…

Link up with Janette, she’s just a sweety!!

I make tote bags. As you can see if you look around the blog page. I have made different themed bags, all sorts of sizes, and all kinds of fabrics. So when one of my best peepster ever asked me to make a tote bag for her sister from a coffee sack, I jumped into it with both feet.

She shipped me the bag. I was stunned when I pulled out a 50lb burlap coffee bag from Hawaii!!

 

OMG!!! I screw this up I’m in big time trouble!!

But I did an awesome job… of course!

My Inspiration…

See that scarf or shawl. It’s one of those looped types… universal, I think is what it was called. I looked it up and down and forward and backwards and I thought I could make that… so I did!
This leopard scarf/shawl was part of a gift swap I did back in February. I made the matching tote. I think I did a fine job!
Any way, I finally came across a piece of fabric that I thought would make a cool scarf. I whipped out in a matter of minutes. It took longer to heat up the iron to press it.
I mailed it to my very good friend… Becca… she has bought several of my totes to get her opinion.

I’m anxious to know what she thinks.
Don’t you think Betty makes a fine model?

Auntie Barb's Nana Bag...

She wanted a new bag to carry to the college when she swims with the ladies and this is it...


















and just to show you how big it is...
Way bigger than my Crazy Cat Lady bag.

Special Order For Cheryl...

Very Bold!

The fabric is Rooster Zebra Feathers. The liner is chocolate brown. The pocket is deepset. And something new... braided handles.

Finished The Rooster...

Wild is the only word that describes this.




You know you want one! Just ask.

Sneak Peek...

Auntie Barb's rooster... Wild!!









The zebra print is called Rooster Zebra Feathers and is more brown than it looks in the photo. It will be the liner.

Special Order...

Brenda's tote...

It's not as tall as the Nana Bag but big!

She's going to use it for a laptop tote. So the bottom is reinforced.

I put mine in it and was pleased with it.
