Hi Cuties, I've finished my Tote bag from Sweetpea. I made it in black, red and white in the 6x6 inch square.
I stuffed up the zipper and somehow put it in upside down, then I had to pull it off the black zip extension and resew it, unfortunately it's out a bit, in my haste so
I'm not happy with it, but as they say a blind person would be happy to see it.
I took it with me this morning to my local coffee shop and one of my friends there said she'd love one. I told her I'd not be making one this size again, maybe in the smaller size or even the black and white one I did previously. It's made in cotton fabrics with the base being vinyl.
I've got an Easter project to get done first. Love Chris

Thanks so much Maria, it's a great size and holds lots of goodies. Love Chris
20244Chris, a beautiful job. I love all colors and hues. When I was young I must a been blah, or blah was the only thing available. I used to laugh at my mom's sense of colors as she aged but now I see she was an artistic soul and I am turning into a love of color girl myself. Don't mind the zipper--we've all been there done that or to something else. It's great in my opinion.

59631I really enjoyed looking at all the different embroidery designs! It gave my eye a lot to see and enjoy. Adding those little feet was a good idea to make it last longer! I once tried to make a tote. I did everything wrong and never got the zipper in correctly...which makes me amazed at your talents!

Ha ha ha! Penny, it was challenging and I'm blowed if I can work out how I did it wrong. I'll need to look more closely at the pattern instructions! Love Chris

Hi Kim, well, it will work, so that's something. I'm just dumbfounded how I put the zipper in upside. Then having to unpick the dang thing with double stitching on each side of the zipper and the extensions, I wasn't a happy chappy!! Love Chris

Thanks Karen, yes, I agree with you. They go well together and I have a perfect shirt to go with it. Trevor even bought me a large Red umbrella, but he said it's to match my Red Mazda CX5!! Love Chris

Ha, thanks Laura. I always wear Black and White or those shades with vibrant colours, so this bag will go with a few things. Love Chris
