I spent some time sewing yesterday in between soccer and a movie. As a result, I finished the Anna Maria Horner<\/a> Multi-tasker Tote. I keep thinking of it as the Julie tote, since Julie<\/a> looked high and low and found the blue Denyse Schmidt<\/a> fabric for me. She may get a gift. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

As I mentioned in my review<\/a>, the construction of this tote is amazingly elegant. Putting the straps on was no exception. There is a part where you fold over the top and that becomes the channel for the straps. I am still completely in awe of AMH and her ability to imagine the construction of this bag.<\/p>\n

In the photo below, I tried to show you the channel. Aside from having to turn the straps inside out, which is a big pain in the patootie, I got the straps on and the bag ready to carry stuff in a couple of hours.<\/p>\n

My only concern is that the way the straps are held on means that I won’t be able to carry heavy stuff in it. I don’t plan to use this for groceries, but I routinely carry:<\/p>\n

  1. a journal<\/a><\/li>\n
  2. my Clairefontaine<\/a><\/li>\n
  3. a book (can be hardback or paperback)<\/li>\n
  4. the Word of the Day book (paperback)<\/li>\n
  5. a pencil roll <\/a><\/li>\n
  6. a water bottle<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    I don’t think the above list is outrageous…. I do have to have my stuff with me.<\/p>\n

    I plan to make another one now that I know the drill. I have ideas for different ways of combining fabric. I ended up buying some of the Peltex 2 from SewThankful (I think), so I need to do something with it. This Multi-tasker tote bag is a nice change from the Eco Market tote.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
