Patchwork Tote Bag

This is my latest work during the weekend.  A patchwork tote bag for myself... Originally the pattern was from Our Cozy Nest   The different between the original pattern was mine sewn without batting and using ribbon in replace of fabric as the tie on front(which  I've omitted too..) 
At the same time, I also give a try to sew a patchwork business card holder from the same fabric.  I am very much love it when my work completed...and of course this is also for my own use. Sewing this business card holder is really easy.  Maybe I shall share the tutorial with you in one of this day.

Sunflower bag

Last weekend I've completed sewing an order from a friend for a shoulder bag. It has two inside pockets for storing all must have items. The bag pattern initially was  from the shoulder bag version that I've sewn for myself in my earlier post dated on October 11,2010. Sunflower bag pattern however have some slight changes from the 1st version - if you can see the different, I've obmitted the pleated at both side of the handle and it comes with a zipper. The rest remain the same.
I also sew a wristlet purse as a gift for her to use with the bag. Hope she likes it.

 

Tote bag

Tote bags for my children.

All were made using the fabric from my stash collection.

All the bags come with a lining which help the fabric from stretching.

I made my children to choose the color of the fabric and they also do the wording

that they want to be sewn at the bag.

 And I choose the fabric for the wording to

match with the bag. Most of the alphabet I handsew using the cotton fabric.

  The result of my creations ... as you can see in the above photos.
