My idea completed. A group photo. The feel of these is soft and wonderful. 
Right after New Years I went to our local fabric store to buy some wool felt. You do see it on the bottom of this beautiful stack. The gorgeous wools are for future use. And the laces...well a girl just has to have lace in her stash. So back to the wool felt. I purchased three colors, burgundy, pink and white. Here is what I made.
The perfect lightweight durable small tote for errand shopping or snack carrying or anything you like. I think they would make super cute Valentine gifts...empty or filled.
Here is the pink tote. Did you see the hearts stitched onto each handle? I love my sewing machine. Together we can keep the thread industry in business for quite some time to come.
Hand cutting all the red felt hearts and the red organdy hearts that are sewn on with the buttons was tedius but what else would I be doing?! Of course I did list these in my etsy shop. We will see if anyone needs to own these cute handy totes. It felt so good to spend time in the studio and the sewing room making these.
What are you making, creating, painting, journaling, etcetera?

ReplyDeleteWow, looks like you're ready for Valentine's Day! Cute little totes. The decorative stitches are the perfect accent.
ReplyDeleteI keep wanting an embroidery only machine, but they're too expensive. In the meantime I really should use my decorative stitches more often. They do add a very nice touch.
Those are so amazingly cute! I {love} them :)
ReplyDeleteDarling little bags!

great totes. I'm rethinking totes because my new purse already has a broken zipper. :(
ReplyDeleteYour bags look awesome! I bet they are really soft and comfy to feel, too.
