Professional Tote Sew Day
We've had a fun couple of days working on our Professional Totes (pattern by Laura Martell of Creative Thimble). We opened early on Sunday for this occasion. Six of us attended....myself, Sally, Wilma, Val Savina, Diane Koenig and Lenora Branstetter. We had a great time working on these wonderful totes. It looks terribly difficult but, if you follow Laura's very detailed, well-written instructions, you can easily finish this project in a couple of days. Lenora finished her's this afternoon. She was pretty tickled with the outcome and said she was glad that she did it, despite doubts she'd had that it was something that she could do. The rest of us are just about finished. I think we may just do this again!

As always, the Professional Totes are beautiful and dare I say it, very professional looking. Sally had fun with hers, taking a different approach in fabric selection for a fun look for a specific person. Wilma's is also a gift and about her 3rd or 4th tote. Lenora's is cheerful and perfect for spring and she has plans on making more. Diane's is bright and best of all, the outside fabric was about 50 cents a yard - don't we love a sale! Marilyn's batik tote would look great on my shoulder. I didn't get to see Val's yet. I would love to see all the ladies who have made totes come in for a picture for the blog. Of course, so many have made them we might have to do multiple pictures.
ReplyDeleteGood job, ladies.
