Anyway, hot off the press are these simple little tote bags made from cottons that I have been hoarding for the longest time. I just thought it was high time I cut into them and stop feeling so precious. You know what it's like when you love fabric more than anything you can possibly describe - I just adore their cheeky ways! Previously, I've mostly used them for small bits of fussy cutting here and there - the insides of purses and kindle covers and what have you and I thought it was high time they had a chance to live loud and proud and show off their brilliance. Hurrah for saucepots and half naked cowboys and stylish cool cats!
And I think this fabric combo is my favourite - I love the large, robust foliage against the delicate and subtle foliage. Lush.

Great totes - love the beefy cowboys & the cute cowgirls! I'm guilty of hoarding pretty fabrics that are 'too pretty' to cut into!
ReplyDeleteI have never seen such fabric...they look great and I am sure will all make bold statements for those who sport them.
ReplyDeleteI saw that cowboy fabric made into a hot water bottle cover a month or so ago. Your bags look terrific. You probably needed a stiff drink after cutting into them, but the finished pile of deliciousness would have made up for it!
ReplyDeleteLOVE love love that fabric. Very brave of you cutting into it. :) They make cool totes.

Thanks all! I have to remind myself that there will always be MORE cool fabric...happy sewing to all!
ReplyDeleteHi Jo, Thanks for you message a few weeks back. I've been a bit absent of late. The fete went really well thanks so I've got another couple lined up but for much later in the year. It was a real eye opener (even though it was only a teeny school fete) but fun all the same. I'm glad yours seemed to go well too. Loving those fabrics by the way. I agree - its great to see them in their full glory. k
