just a little heaven for me


i finally did it. i made a tote bag and it was successful. the process of making this tote bag is not hard once you learn. there is one moment where you pull the outside of the bag through this tiny hole you left and flip the lining and then- {voila} it's a bag. that feeling of anticipation is a little bit of heaven for me. not sure why, but it gives me a rush.

i heart the brown leaves on my fabric from japan that is heavy duty enough for a tote bag. for the lining, i used this yellow and green floral linen-like fabric. i heart koseki fabric...it's beautiful. with the left over piece, i made a small pouch for the bag.
now i'm waiting for the zipper foot to come for my sewing machine and i'm going to begin making zipper pouches. off to making another tote bag for now...just got fabric from alexander henry. i'll post that one next.
