Reversible tote

Justin says I should retire this pattern. But until I find a new one that I can successfully follow...

This is for my friend Grace's birthday. Mother of 2! I made her a bag like this two Christmases ago and it has gotten a lot of use, holding Abby's toys and snacks. This one is new and improved, with fusible interfacing, and pockets on the inside for her iPhone and whatever else.

Make-up Bag

This bag is for my co-worker, my partner in crime that I work with in Pasadena. She keeps me sane and I her. She too, like my old boss at NightLight enjoys earthy tones. This was the earthiest I could deal with. I know, I'm horribly stubborn with my own taste!

Anyway, I haven't sewn anything for her yet, (just made stationery), so I'm pretty excited about this since I always tell her that I am sewing. This time it will be for her!

Last minute, I added this gift tag. The stamp was part of a Christmas gift tag set I got from Target for $5 (5 stamps in all!), and the gold paper is leftover from my friend Liz's bridal shower invitations, and I used scalloped scissors to cut the green border.
