Well I did it! I finally finished my tote for the
Solids only Tote Challenge.
And here it is:
It's nice to look back and see what I started with..
....and what I finished up with..
The inside lining is also scrap patchwork:
The sentiment I appliqued on the front represents
my philosophy in life:
Overall I'm proud of my little tote, and although I may not have the amazingly accurate patchwork, quilting or other impressive sewing skills demonstrated by other challenge participants - I shall be happy for my effort to stand next to theirs!
Tomorrow I'll post the tutorial of how I made this
'Practical Patchwork Tote'
For anyone interested in using up some of their scraps to make something functional and useful!
UPDATE: Tutorial can be found here!
Yes! Very well done! I can't believe the inside is patchwork as well. That's a lot of work.
ReplyDeleteThat's amazing, I love how it had turned out. All your hard work has really paid off. I really love the "anything is possible" on the front. Sometimes we just need a reminder, thanks!
ReplyDeleteYour tote will stand proud with the others, Jill. You've done a great job. Love the saying appliquéd to the front. The oval shape with the word in the centre looks great. Well done on using fabric from your stash.
