First off my bag for the Secret Tote Bag Swap. For this round, everyone is making 241 totes. I came up with two drastically different sides so that my partner could have more options.
And this is the finished product. I used linen for the background and the sewing dictionary print for the pockets.
For the August edition of Super Swaps, we were to make either a zippered pouch or fabric basket. I opted for the fabric basket, but might also whip up a small pouch to add in. I had fun adding the FMQ. On the left there is an orange strip and on the right there is a stripe of purple. I used crosshatch for the handles.
Then we have the mug rug I made for Mug Rug Revival. This was my original fabric pull. I couldn't decide on the violet, but after I posted this, my partner commented that she liked the dragonfly violet, so I went with that one!
I ended up using English Paper Piecing half hexagons and equilateral triangles because my sewing machine was in the shop at the time.
I used linen for the background and decided to add accent stitching with embroidery thread.
I forgot to take a picture before mailing it off, but this is the picture my partner posted when she received the mug rug. She loved it, which is such a relief because we were supposed to make something summery and I wasn't sure if rainbow pinwheels would be summer-y to anyone but myself. Photo by Lisa Garber.
I love your bags and your rainbow pinwheel. I think rainbows are always appropriate.
