Yet Another Tote

So I am apparently addicted to totes...

Here is my latest one.  I used a heavier fabric which I was pretty happy with and I did a bit more decoration such as the cream stripe on the tote.  I also add a bunch of pockets inside so that I can use the tote as a diaper bag.  Overall, I think it turned out well.

Back to Crafting

Well  I have finally returned to the crafting world...

Here is the second tote that I have made.  I actually like this tote A LOT better than my first attempt.  I made it a little wider which I liked and I also made short straps which I think looks better.  The only thing I was disappointed in was that I wanted to do a bit of decorative stitching where the two fabrics meet and I forgot.  Otherwise I was very happy with the project.

Recent Sewing Projects

I have recently been really into sewing...

Here is a wall quilt that I just finished.  It was the first time that I tried applique.  I was pretty happy with how it turned out but it did bunch in a few places.  One of my crafting friends recommended that I make my stitches a bit bigger when I do my quilting so I will have to try that next time.

The other project that I recently completed was a tote.  I don't like my fabric choice and there are a lot of things that I would do differently such as making the outside fabric a bit smaller so it doesn't bunch and using some kind of interfacing or a heavier fabric but it was good practice and I intend on making more totes in the future.
