Week two of my beginning sewing class, and look at what I came home with! Sooo exciting. This is by far the cutest and most professional-looking thing I have ever sewed, and I am so inspired to dive into more sewing projects now. My first time using fusible interfacing, and my first time topstitching (see below). I was terrified every second of stitching it, especially since I chose a print that really didn't allow for a forgiving, blend-in-the-background thread choice. But I did pretty well, if I do say so myself!
Look at me, I'm relatively straight!
We even put in a lining and pocket.
The pattern was soo easy, I left the store with material for a second tote, which I whipped out the next day. It turned out even better than the first! Watch out world, I'm going to become a tote-bag making machine.
I love this print on the vertical ...
Cat inspected and approved.

Thanks, Giddy! I am so in love with the fabric options at my local fabric store--it's really the fabric that makes the bag! :-D
