It was finished in February.....

Very late last night, with about half an hour to spare I finished off my Red Home tote bag.  Just needed to wait for some time(and the light of day) to take some pics today.....

                                      

I've been loving all the beautiful fabric combos people have used for the tote bags, there will be no two bags alike.....  

I made a start today on my March pincushion.  The 9 patch ends are pieced and the stitchery is traced ready for me to make a start on tonight. 

Happy stitching girls......... Nicky x

True Friends tote bag has been...

 ... inspected and approved for useful!

The fabric collection, which I used is Benartex's City Girl.

Some details about the bag:

The edge of the pocket is stitched by machine, some kind of triple stitch. The quilting is simple, only straight lines. Instead of the iron-on pellon I used the wadding fabric, which is bought for the coat someday on 80's (oh, that's old!) I was excited how it'll work... so far I'm very pleased with it. 

I also found a very old button, which is my mother's wool coat button, probably from 60's. (Wov, that's older!)

With those old things my tote bag is a real vintage thing ;o)

I like it!!!!

I'm ready for March and pincushion!

 I have seen here many pretty, gorgeous, amazing, colorful and so on...
