I'll be teaching a little sewing class for a mid-week activity at church.
It was suggested to me that a tote bag might be an item of interest. I
guess I'll find out! The class isn't until October, but hopefully it
won't be a total flop! Either way, I love my new little tote! If you
do want to know about how to make the tote, it's just a tutorial I
followed on The Purl Bee.
Totally easy. I was excited to find that Pacific Fabrics is now
carrying a selection of Japanese Import fabrics and had this cute Red
Riding Hood one I have seen online before. It was fun working with
some new colors, not that I don't still love my pink, red and aqua
friends.
The tote is magazine sized. The tutorial would be EASILY altered for bigger or smaller.
ttfn!
It's adorable! I think you'll have a great turnout.

I have all of this fabric with the exception of just 2 or 3. I love this and what a great idea. I know if I was at your church I would go to the class:) We have recently just started going to a new church. I know the pastor very well, he baptisted me when I was 20 years old:) But its always sort of scary and wierd to go somewhere new. I like a smaller type of church where you can really feel part of everything. That is what this church is like but I have yet to delve into any women's activities. I want too. It always amazes me to find out that women can be so "mean" or "standoffish" at church. BUT that is just life and I need to "get over it" cuz there are just always people out there dealing with their own stuff that has nothing to do with me. I just take it personally, too often. Wow, I said tooooo much. I love the vibe of your blog, its a nice place to visit:)
