Apples & Totes

Welcome to another week of Show and Tell Monday and Handmade Monday

Slightly different had a request for a company apron from a friend, I love applique work and tried to replicate her logo style as much as possible, posting off today hope she likes:


As many of you know I supply tidy/laundry bags to a local girls' school but am always left with strips of fabric, usually make small tidy bags but thought something a bit different a craft tote, the centre is open and measures approx 7" X 5" has a stiffened base with 4 pockets around the outside, not a huge tote but ideal for carrying all those pesky craft tools and bits and pieces. I move tools etc from my workroom to use in my sewing room and back again normally leaving a trail of debris behind or mislay an item that I then spend ages looking for. The first one was a bit rough around the edges but serves it purpose and these are now the fine tuned product, will be adding to my website as they are made, random colours and patterns, ideal for a workshop/class situation as you can easily spot your tote. Also thinking along the lines of a pdf pattern with full instructions etc which I may post on my website and Etsy for those who like to make.

    Want the apron. The colour is not of the norm which is always an added bonus as well!

    The apron is a great idea but I like the tote the best. Could see them being a best seller. Is it also possible to make with thicker material for say gardening?
