\"Candy<\/a>
Candy Tote with Flowers<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

As you may remember, I bought some fabric<\/a> at Always Quilting on the day I went to longarm.<\/p>\n

After finishing the Clear tote<\/a>, I looked around for my next project. I had tote bags on the mind, so out came the fabric and off I went.<\/p>\n

I cut out two totes. This is the one where the main outside part of the bag is made with the flower print from the Ginger Blossom line by Sandi Henderson<\/a>. I have used the stripe fabric from the same line for the accents and the lining [inside].<\/p>\n

One GREAT thing about this project, aside from geting a new tote bag out of the work, was that I learned to use the button hole function on the Jem. It is much easier to use than the button hole function on the 9000. Now I don’t have to go to Seattle in order to make button holes! TFQ’s machine makes GREAT button holes. The Jem button holes will be a suitable facsimile, not as good as going to Seattle, but suitable.<\/p>\n

I have enough of the stripe to make another bag. It is already cut out, but I didn’t do very well making two bags at once<\/a>, so I just cut both out and lined them. Once that was done I limited myself to sewing one at a time. I’ll sew the other one this weekend.<\/p>\n

I also have some blue flowery fabric that I bought for a tote. Perhaps I will get that done as well. It feels like a good time to make tote bags. TFQ asked me if I was still using the Favorite Things Eco Market tote pattern. I am, but she made me think that, perhaps, I should dig out those other tote patterns I have purchased over the past year and try one of them out. I really want to try the Liesel tote<\/a>. I am a really big chicken when it comes to 3D things, so I’ll have to gear up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
