Speedy update!

Summer is around the bend!


And with it comes the urge to make brightly coloured inkles and then make totes out of them. Here are a few pics of my recent creations. I would like to type more at the moment but my baby boy is currently melting down in his jumpy saucer.


Inkle tote #1 (9" x 12"):



The liner is hand stitched into the tote (some quilting cotton I had stashed in the basement):


Inkle tote #2 (8 1/2" x 14 1/2"):



The strap is card woven and the hardware is plastic that I salvaged from another bag:


Okay hearts off the charts everybody!

WHY DON'T I MAKE THINGS LIKE THIS?

Clearly I am silly. And those bags are beautiful!
