YELLOW SHOPPING TOTE
I am often guilty of starting up my holiday gift making quite late in the game. Usually on Christmas eve I’m up late rushing some final stitches on projects.
Last week I made my first holiday gift of the year. Not bad, it’s the middle of November. The shopping tote is my own design and I’ve made it so many times now. It’s such a useful bag to have around. (and it’s reversible!) I used a lovely yellow floral Japanese linen/cotton fabric for the outside and a pink ‘1001 Peeps’ fabric for the lining. When I picked out the fabrics, I knew exactly who the bag would be for. I’ll be sending it off to NYC really soon so that it arrives before Christmas.
Now to get organized with the rest of my holiday making!

Great bag!!! How do you like the collette book? I’m thinking about putting it on my wishlist for christmas, but I’ve only seen it on the internet and not in real life, so is it really as great as I’m thinking, or am I wrong? Which projects are in there? Thanks!!!

It’s lovely – lucky friend! Yellow is one of my all-time favourite colours and it’s nice to see some in November.
Oh so pretty! And so inspirational to get me started on making some Christmas gifts, too!

I like how you use bright colors for most of your bags! By the way, can you tell what this fabric is called and whether we can buy in online (the one from your Flickr collection with the big fly)? http://www.flickr.com/photos/theworkroom/6358291633/in/set-72157604671687684
