Two posts in the one weekend????? Whats going on............. Well, I think I have been bitten big time by the textiles bug. I'm loving it. Last year at the Knit & Stitch show I bought a book called Bags, with Paper & Stitch by Isobel Hall, its a fabulous book with amazing techniques using paper and fabric and stitch, obviously, lol. Anyway, one bag in particular always caught my eye and this weekend, yup, for almost 2 days, I had a go and made a large tote. I am off to the Knit & Stitch this coming weekend so I needed a large sturdy tote to carry all my new stuff that I will splurge on and this is definitely sturdy. Its curtain/upholstery fabric and I can you tell I broke a few needles. It was worth it though as this was fun and definitely a satisfying result for me.

that's just fabulous Carrie - you'll get lots of admiring glances with that at the show!
I love it! I think you should attach an "I made this" label, just so people know!
Carrie, this is amazing- how did you get that texture? There must be something in the air, as we were chatting about sewing all last week on UK Stampers! I need to get stitching! Please keep posting inspiring pictures- and enjoy your show!
That bag is incredible! What did you do! It looks so trendy! Definitely must add a Carrie Logo!
Look out for the Multi Machine needle pack, at the K&S. I can see a new Handbag Line starting! Hope to see you there!
it is soooooo cool - and I'm sure you'll put it to the test this weekend.
