I'm cutting it close this month for the Monthly Make-It Challenge. I really didn't have anything to show.
I rummaged around and found a piece of embroidery that I had done about 2 years ago. The embroidery pattern was a freebie but I can't remember the source that I got it from at the moment. If anyone recognizes it let me know.
I had a fat quarter from the Sew-Sisters Bargain Lover's Club that I really didn't think I could use for anything but it matched the embroidery perfectly. I teamed them up together and made this little tote bag last night. The embroidery was done on a piece of unbleached cotton and I lined the bag with a remnant of sheeting which is a bit lighter shade than the fabric.
I had some flat faceted "buttons" that I used for the eyes...sparkly:) |
The finished size is about 10 1/2 in. by 13 in. |
Perfect for carrying a book or a magazine:)
I'm also joining up with the Needle&Thread Network. Please come over and visit and see the work of some talented Canadians.
I usually link up my other blog A Cloth Doll Maker's Diary and it's not a WIP but today I thought I'd do something different.
Take care:)
That is great. I really like it.
ReplyDeletePerfect for carrying a beach ball, a dog water dish, dog water in a bottle, sunglasses, ah, no don't need sunglasses this year... couple of mints to chew along the beach, pair of extra shoes, half a sandwich because only half of any sandwich actually makes it to the beach.. now what else could fit into that beautiful bag ? :-)
ReplyDeleteSee you still have mr mousie working his little socks off.... ah, knitting needles, Mousie could do with some new socks...

It just needs a little kitty peeking out the top. If you need one, I've got a couple! :)
ReplyDeleteLove it!
ReplyDeleteThat is such a cute tote. And a nice size!
ReplyDeleteFun tote, to carry anywhere! You can never have too many totes. I keep loosing them around the house, or a friend says something like "boy I wish I had a cute tote like that" and I empty it and give it away!!
ReplyDeleteNo one would ever guess that it was cobbled together in kind of a hurry. It's just lovely!!
ReplyDeleteVery cute tote bag-one can never have too many.
ReplyDeleteSimply adorable. hugs Mrs A.
ReplyDeleteMary Ann,
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this bag! You are amazing. You are highly talented in so many areas and so productive.
And, I totally agree with greelyrita. I would never have known that this adorable kitty bag was a "get something done in a hurry" project. I really love it, my friend.
Big hugs from,
Cindy
