Artistic Mother: week 3 poetry tote

 The Artistic Mother poetry tote

It seems I’ve found my groove again. Yay!

I was so happy to be back crafting and creating again, I ended whipping this up in an afternoon (I prepared the fabric about a month ago, before I lost my groove), and really enjoyed the process. Yes, I Carin, enjoyed sewing! Wonders never cease! I have Shona to thank for that. She spelled out every step so clearly, I couldn’t go wrong.

I think this is my perfect project for practising sewing. It’s so easy to do (it must be if I can whip it up in an afternoon!), and is easily changed to suit my needs. Aoife has already put in an order for a blue one so I know I’ll be making it again very soon.

If you want to see what the others are making, visit Trudy’s blog here. They’re making some really cool stuff.
