| The completed tote bag. |
This one I whipped up over a couple of hours last night, and gave to my friend Donna today for her birthday. It is a tote bag, which I thought might be useful as she commutes by train several days a week, and loves to read and do crosswords.
For this project I followed the instructions in Lotta Jansdotter's book, 'Simple Sewing'. I needed to concentrate to work out exactly what to do sometimes, but was surprised at how quickly it came together.

| My inspiration this time. |
My sewing machine is still having problems, but there were only a few loose stitches evident on the bag so I figured I could get away with it. The applique was inspired by one of the photographs in the book.

I liked this bag so much, I think I might try to make myself one.
If I can find the time!
