Still not got back into actually doing anything crafty so I'm sharing yet another item made before Christmas which I didn't get round to posting in December.
The shape is simple - a tote with a divided pocket on the front trimmed with black bias binding and extra wide cream ric rac.
The instructions for the bag were taken from Half Yard Heaven by Debbie Shore.
Materials used:
Printed fabric
Cream cotton for lining
Wadding/Batting
Black bias binding
Wide cream ric rac
Webbing for straps
Matching sewing thread
Sewing machine
The finished bag measures approximately 16" x 14".
With some of the leftover fabric I made a matching mobile phone case ... much too large!
It was all guess work so I'll know to make the next one a lot smaller.
Another brief post from me. Hope you don't mind me sharing stuff I made last month but didn't have time to post until now.
Wishing you all well.
Happy Crafting,

I love the hand bag fabric on your bag! I used to have a refrigerator magnet in the shape of a refrigerator. I like that weird synchronicity or whatever you want to call it.
I am very jealous! I'm hoping to get to my sewing machine once again. I planned to last year but have found I can't manage more than one craft at the moment. Lovely tote bag I hope she will treasure it Karen xx
