Sidetracked

I have plenty of Christmas sewing that needs to be finished quickly, but I got myself sidetracked big time with a personal project. For a while I’ve been giving thought to making myself a new tote….what pattern, what fabric, etc. Around and around in my mind it goes. Then, Jackie’s black and white challenge got me to thinking in terms of black and white. Hmmm…this could be fun. I started playing with my fabric, just to see what looked good, but then, of course, I couldn’t stop and spent two days deeply involved in sewing myself a tote. This is what I came up with. I added yellow as an accent color, after all it is my favorite color. The pattern was challenging but I loved every minute spent on it.


Now back to Christmas sewing…only 2 weeks left!

lovely bag.Looks much better than a tote. I would call it a purse. Your workmanship looks outstanding.

It's beautiful. I love black, white, and yellow.

I'm in the black and white challenge, too. I'm not sure,yet, what I'm going to make. I have seen several ideas, such as your bag. I may have to make me several black and white projects!!
