A cute summer tote

With no summer classes until I get to England in less 33 days, I need to get started on all of these projects I want to complete. I have finished my first tote as shown above the pattern. I love all the colors and the flowers centered on the pockets. This will be a very easy pattern to repeat. I am planning on making another or two this weekend.

My next project is going to be the lovely raincoat from Amy Butler once the fabric arrives :) I hope the the making of the raincoat doesn't take to long since I need it for my trip.

I have also created a sewing buddy of sorts. My new roommate is also making the above bag. We want to the Quilt house and purchased fabric for her.

Summer in Europe... do I need a rain coat?

I am traveling to dreary London this summer and think that I might need a raincoat. I haven't had a raincoat since it had Barbie faces all over it. I was checking on my favorite fabric designers website today for a new pattern or two when I found this!! Amy Butlers pattern information can be found here. I never even thought about laminated fabrics before today. New possibilities.. I just love that it has a hood.

New Things: Summer Projects

I have gotten a lot of new goodies over the last couple of months but finals and life just got in the way. I have lots of new fabric that are going to become beautiful new bags. I just am in love with blues and greens. I also found this great pink turtles and green fabric. They go along with my sorority colors which is great.
