WIP - tote bag

Am working on this tote bag (having finally given up on finding the exact ribbons I needed, and so have hand stitched onto the ribbons after machine sewing them onto the panels).

Is from a pattern by Meredith Harmer that was in Australian Patchwork and Stitching magazine Vol 11 No 2 2010 and is called Oh-So Happy.

The front panel.
Close up of the applique.
 Watch this space! I hope to have this bag finished by Sunday!

  2. Oh, well...first I discovered last night that I had cut the inner panels by a half inch too short, so that bummed me out and I decided it was too late at night to try and fix up. Then today I went to school to do a couple of hours preparation as the term starts again tomorrow and I actually got into my 'zone' and pottered away there quite happily for about six hours! Maybe will get it done over the next week! :-)
