Artistic Mother: Aoife’s tote

Artistic Mother Poetry tote

Ever since I made my poetry tote Aoife has been nagging me to death to make a blue one for her. There was no way I would get any peace until I had made it, so as soon as I had all the fabrics I set to work! I used a mixture of new and thrifted fabrics for this one and think they mix really well. I particularly love that owl fabric by Moda and bought it in a couple of different colourways so I can use it for a couple of future projects I’ve got planned (oh boy, I think I’ve caught the sewing bug!).

The best part though is seeing Aoife so thrilled with her new bag. It’s been permanently attached to her shoulder today.
