As we wrap up the Tote Exchange, I am disappointed that several participants have still not received their bags. Some appear to be delayed due to international shipping but nonetheless, it's disappointing for those people to be left with nothing. For those that are still waiting, I decided to send them a hand crafted bag. I am a slow knitter and don't have time to knit bags, however, I can sew pretty darn quick. So I dove into my fabric stash yesterday and planned out a few bags. The bag in the picture is one that I made from a wool sweater purchased from a thrift store. I sewed it first then felted it. I still need to line it and add a flower embellishment and then I'll ship it off. I'll post a picture of the bags I am sewing when I get further along.I leave you with a picture of a pineapple upside down cake that I baked for my new neighbors. I made one for us, too, and have already devoured a piece. (I'm a firm believer in eating dessert first!!) Yum yum. One of my favorite cakes.
Yummy!! The cake and the purse.
ReplyDeleteMmmmm. I'm with you on eating the dessert first - then you don't have to stuff yourself later. :)
ReplyDeleteYou should check out the group sew? I knit ... there is a link to it on my blog.

ReplyDeleteYou are so sweet to do this Bonnie! I must say I'm relieved to know that bag is made from a sweater - when I first saw the photo I thought, "and she does Fair Isle too???!!!"
