Finished Project

I finally finished the project I have been working on.  It's a bag that I found the pattern for here.  Isn't it so nice that you can find so many free patterns of all kinds on the internet?  I thought this was a really cute design, and would come in handy for carrying books, papers, whatever you need to carry around with you.  As I tell my granddaughters, "you can never have too many totebags." And it's even better when they are homemade!

I made this one for daughter Jennifer, as she had mentioned that she needed something for carrying her various needed supplies back and forth to her classroom.

I actually expected this totebag to be a little bigger, judging from the picture that was displayed, but it is still a fairly decent size.

Anyway, here is how it turned out.

I really like how the colors contrast so well.  You can't tell too much from the picture but the light fabric is a kinda mint green with pink roses on it.  It was a part of a collection of matching fat quarters that I had in my fabric stash.

And here is a picture of the inside of the bag.  It has some decent sized pockets on both sides.

I had a lot of fun making it, and it was fairly easy and didn't take very long to put together. Jennifer was very happy with it!

And just for a different ending, here is a picture of the clouds outside tonight at sunset.

Lots of color!
