The Minneapolis Tote ... my new summer bag. I am fortunate to get to do pattern testing for my friend Dawn, of
Spring Water Designs and this is her newest pattern. You really should go and see
her version in repro fabrics - it looks really different.
It's a great size with an unexpected zippered pocket on the bag. Her approach to putting the pieces together is very different from other totes and her directions - clear and precise. I gave my bag a little "purse jewlery" just because.
I also finished my May block for the Elsie Campbell BOM, Love Knows No Sesason.
Helping my mom move and get settled into a new condo has really cut into my sewing time. It felt so good to spend the day yesterday in my "dungeon" surrounded by fabric and thread, singing along (again) to the Troubadour CD. My idea of heaven!
