canvas totes

This is the cutest fabric. It is a regular cotton. The baby animals are black and the background is cream. I have several yards. I think it could be a surprise/signiture lining. What should we make out of it?
I took a few pictures of some of my fabric stash so that you can choose your own canvas tote.
The tote will measure about 12″ tall, 10″ across and 3″ deep. The shoulder strap will be approx. 30″ long. I sew the strap on with a secure “X in a square”. There will be a pocket on each side of the inside of the tote, one divided into two sections and the other will go from side seam to side seam and close with a self covered button and elastic. $30 includes US 1st class shipping. International 1st class shipping is $35.
Here are some of the fabrics I have on hand and I can make one for you today and have it in the mail to you in 2 days.
I have to work around my kids and husbands schedule…if they would just quit eating I would have more time to sew.
This one is a lilac/pink/purple with purple, hot pink, white and lime green ovals.
These are lime green, hot pink, and the paisley has orange in it.
These all are a soft mossy green. The solid is demin weight.
This is a vintage ticking. I have a dark navy blue demin on hand. Do you want any flowers or another pattern to go with this? I can start sewing the sample tomorrow.
Did anyone see the perfect bag for themselves?
Let’s design one together and then I’ll post it in my etsy store for you to purchase.
Works in Progress
April 3, 2008 at 3:41 am | In Uncategorized | Leave a CommentHow many projects are you working on right now?
The whole purpose is to make something and list it on etsy.
Then my 6th grader needs a Laura Ingalls Wilder bonnet and apron to wear during her probe/speech. I had to buy a pattern, so I can’t sell them because I didn’t write the pattern. She got extra credit for being in costume.
I’ve knit several neck warmers and scarf using a stitch pattern book. But it is the wrong season. They may be presents.
And then there are the knit wallets. They are the perfect size to carry everything you need for a dash to the store, but are too big to fit in your pocket. I think I will put a long strap on them to wear as a purse.
Now the new here is the new bag inspired by SAJ post yesterday. What do you think?
The bag is 13″ across when laid flat, 12″ tall and 3″ deep. The strap is 2″ wide and 24″ long. The fabric is a navy blue plaid woven cotton. The lining is dark navy blue. There is a single 5 1/4″ X 6 1/4″ pocket on the inside.![]()

If this looks like it would work I can make a ton from my stash.
