Weekend Sewing


Today I had a very productive day in the sewing room. I finished a tote bag with the quilt block I made yesterday.


The block size is 12X12 inches, so the finished bag ended up being roomy enough to carry groceries, books or a quilting project. And I made the straps a bit longer to carry it as a shoulder bag.
I also finished a small travel sewing kit, so I have needles and thread on hand when I'm away from home or carry embroidery floss to do a little stitching on the go.


As you can see from my fabric choices, I love polka dots. I find them so cheerful. I hope you had a nice weekend as well!
