My mom has been sewing up a storm. New totes made with my fabric are in the shop. It's horrible to have these sitting around, because every time I go somewhere, I want to take a different one along with me. But that would be naughty. What if it got dirty? No. Must. Resist.
Okay. I might as well stop writing my blog and just put a big old link to JCaroline's website up here and call it a day. All I do anymore is link to her projects. But I can't stop myself, because she just put up a tutorial for making a really cute hobo bag. It's curvy, it's casual, it's got a zippered pocket inside. Get the free downloadable pattern and detailed steps with photos right here.
I know you guys will probably barf if I say one more thing about the fabric, but I can't resist. How cool is this shoulder bag available from Etsy seller Black Bags?
I made a bag using this helpful tutorial at Craftster. I changed a couple things—most obviously, the orientation of the bag. I'm very slow at sewing, so I will never start a bag business. That's what I learned from this endeavor.
Cool red fabric on flap and lining is from my friend Megumi in Japan. Fun little button is compliments of Orange Beautiful's schwag bag.
