<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\tI had three fabrics ready to make the next Anna Maria Horner Multi-tasker tote<\/a> and one of them disappeared or I lost it or misplaced it. To make matters worse, I don’t remember which one I had selected. Bleah!<\/p>\n I was looking for a red or a pink to bring out the middle of the flower, but am considering another green to encourage subtlety. I looked at pattern on the fabric as well as the color and I am not really sure any of them work. The above are some that I tried out to see if I liked them. I think I need a red with a little more pink.<\/p>\n Perhaps you like the above?<\/p>\n No? I found more fabric choices in the pile behind the door. they caught my eye when I was wandering in and out. This area is like the Tollbooth in the Phantom Tollbooth<\/a> and they haven’t been on my radar since my sister moved a bunch of stuff around in my workroom.<\/p>\n I definitely like the pink dot better. It is a lot of dots in the piece, however.<\/p>\n The small dot kept catching my eye as I looked at some of the other choices. It was on the top of my ironing board because I had just ironed it. I kind of like the lavender\/pinkish color.<\/p>\n Stripes don’t work for me. Well, actually, the stripes work, but the color of the stripes doesn’t work. Too Pepto Bismally.<\/p>\n Too much green?<\/p>\n I really wanted to get going on that tote today. It has been too long since I sewed. Since I couldn’t decide on colors, I was stuck. NOT!<\/p>\n I have plenty of fabric and had just come across the perfect green to make the straps for another AMH MTT, so I started in on that and got pretty far after I made the straps.<\/p>\n The reddish pink fabric is a Martha Negley for Rowan fabric from the Variegated Garden collection will be used for the exterior. This particular print is MN-40 Dahlia.<\/p>\n That fun dot is the inside. As you can see I have the pockets pinned and ready to sew, but haven’t sewn them yet. I was tired.<\/p>\n I added a cell phone pocket, which is the smaller pocket also waiting to be sewed on.<\/p>\n Sorry, this photo is bleary. I have been up and down the stairs (4 flights) at least 8 times to fix photos and I am not doing it again. This idea is from the Sweet Harmony<\/a> bag. The dimensions of this pocket are 4″x5″. I cut it 8″x5″, sew around the outside with right sides together, turn it and then sew it to the lining of the AMH MTT bag. The way I make it fit the cell phone is that I pin the bottom so that it measures only 3″, which makes a pleat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Every horizontal surface in my workroom is covered, mostly with fabric, but other stuff, too. I don’t have large enough horizontal surfaces, but that is no excuse. I have so many things going on. On the top of my list is sewing!
