Hiiiii-yah! Super cool Asian-girl-kick-ass tote with skull interior

I am in love with this bag. Probably because it took me a long time to make it. I'm still experimenting and getting things to be a little better each time I make one. But how cute is this? I know, I know, I'm too proud of myself. But I love these fabrics and they compliment one another so well.

This is a small tote, perfect for Summer, that has two interior pockets - one smaller for a cell phone, and one for a wallet - and a key chain sewn in so you can locate your keys in the bag. The handles I have reinforced with twill tape so you can carry something a little heavier.

I already have a buyer for this one (and I may just keep this one myself and make her another one!) but I will be making more soon. I also have this Asian themed fabric in light blue and pink so I'll be making variations of this with those too.

Hope you like it!

Next Tote... A Teaser!

Check out these wild, awesome fabrics! I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Asian themed one with the kick ass girls. I will be making a bag for myself with one of these fabrics! I hope the sewing goes well, cuz this stuff is too good to waste.

Back soon with a more finished product.

Leopard & Pink Flowered Tote - with a little help.

So I'm starting to make my first "real" bag. The Ava Bag. I have one other tote that is 'soft', but this one will be firmer and cute, I think. It has leopard fabric on one side and pink, flowered fabric on the other. It should be reversible when I'm done, altho I'm making it firmer than the instructions say so we'll see. Here are the pieces I've been cutting. Tomorrow, hopefully, I can get to work on putting it together! Should be interesting.

I love the bright pink with the leopard print. Ideally, I would pair this leopard print with a more retro fabric, but I loved these colors together. And you can see my gorgeous helper. "Helper".

I'll put up a picture of the finished product once I'm done. As well as getting to work on the queen sized quilt for my friend, I might also try to squeeze a quick crib-sized quilt in by June 7th. No problem! That may not happen, but I'll give it the good college try, as they say. You know... THEM.
