Well its been a month since I've been on here. I have sewed a dress for my neice as a Christmas Present and didn't take a pic of it either. It was a blue pillow case dress and actually a top for her, not really a dress. Other than that I had to take a break due to the holidays and work. But today, it was cold outside, sleeting and snowing. No church today as that was cancelled and it was a stay at home day. We watched movies, ate, watched another movie, cleaned, did clothes. I decided I wanted to get back to sewing. But not aprons...I wanted to do a tote! My friend, Marsha, gave me a pattern last week and I was nervous about it. I had the fabric. I used the quilted fabric that I bought a while back not knowing really what i would wind up doing with it. I did it! well, partly. It doesn't have straps yet as I didnt have enough fabric for the straps. So i guess thats a trip to the store to find some matching material or perhaps some creative idea to use as a strap. A belt did come to mind, but the ones I did have here at home were way too thick. So i still have my thinking cap on. But it did come together nicely. This is the medium tote. I am pleased! And now I will check outside to see what the weather is going...I here it is sleeting again and no school tomorrow for the kids!
