I love fabric. I love the colors and the patterns. At times I struggle with certain aspects of sewing, but I am learning. I never took a sewing class, so I sometimes have to work really hard to perfect things that other people probably breeze right through. I had trouble with a couple of spots on two of the totes and I was ready to throw them in the garbage, but I stuck with it and finally got them to where I am comfortable taking them to the craft show.
I don't think I am going to put these in my etsy shop. I really want them for the show and I'm not sure how many I will be able to get done. I still have more aprons to make too!
The first one I made is a little zebra print with webbing straps. This one would be perfect for carrying my "junk" to work every day or for a trip to the grocery store. I'm working on another one like this one in an amazing green paisley print! I know I am going to want to keep that one, but that it against the rules.
This brown one is one of my favorite fabrics and this bag gave me such a hard time. It's huge and would be awesome for a trip to the beach or as an overnight bag. Although I do know people that carry around bags this size everyday.....I don't. I am a small bag or a no bag kind of girl.
The last one is so darn cute. I made a couple of pillows out of this fabric and loved it. It's a tan and maroon floral with wooden dowels for handles! I really like this bag a lot.
I was looking through a magazine last night and found some pillows that are just the most fabulous things. I am already gathering what I need to make some of those before the show.....maybe I should take a leave of absence from my full time job so I can get all of this stuff done for the show. Think they would go for that? HA!

Winner, winner, chicken dinner! These are all so cute..you will sell every one. I bet if you made some in college colors people would buy them for carrying tailgate stuff!
Those bags are great! I'm a big tote/reusable bag person and I'd carry those in a minute :-)
Great job!
These bags are great! I especially love that last one with the wooden handles. Best of luck at the show!
Kathy! WOW! Those bags are great! I love the one with the wooden handle and the one right above it. You did a great job and you are going to make a killing off of them at your show!
Beautiful totes! These would be perfect for the farmer's market and many other uses. xoxo
Those are such pretty bags! You're very talented!
