this is what i have been doing this week. actually, i have been shopping for fabric for michelle's tote for over a month. i look for 2 heavier fabrics with a lightweight lining. i could not for the life of me decide. and we only have 2 fabric stores in town. so i was going back and forth between the two with all sorts of samples, trying to match colors. finally, i let the surprise factor go, and asked michelle to help pick out her own fabrics. i think this turned out great. i like it as well as mine(the black, white and red one).
i put a mini catalog in the pocket, so you could see the size. the pocket lining on the brown pockets match the inner lining.
i used McCalls pattern M4851, and adjusted the size for a smaller size. here are details on the larger one.

ReplyDeleteI love the colors. It is beautiful. I think you should go into the tote making business. I know it would be a big success.
