Progress_Six pocket tote bag

Just completed another bag for mum. Followed the instructions from Better Homes and Garden (six pocket bag)  and it took about 3 hours to finish. Quite pleased with the result even if the straps don't quite meet at the bottom :)


Earlier this week, also made a yoga mat carrier for her (no pics unfortunately). The point is that I need these quick projects to sustain me. The quilts are nice, but can be quite frustrating / demoralizing when they don't turn out the way you envisioned (see previous post).

Recently connected with a fellow crazy crafter and she gave me some good tips on how to make the work "look more handmade but not homemade". Nice way of putting it ....  will endeavor to take the time to prep the fabrics appropriately. It'll be worth it.
