The Rachel Tote By Tuesday Nights Sewing

Melissa at Tuesday Nights Sewing will release her newest bag pattern, Rachel, today.  It's a lovely small tote bag, perfect for carrying your device and some files.  It's going to be my summer professional development classes bag.  It was my first real experience using vinyl, and I loved it!  I'm going to have to add more vinyl to my stash.  The directions and pattern are very easy to follow and it's short and a pretty quick sew.  I was able to complete it in three evenings of cutting and sewing, it could easily be completed in half a day.

Be sure to head to Tuesday Nights Sewing this afternoon to get your copy of the Rachel Tote Bag!

New Projects

I've been posting more to my facebook page and have been neglecting to post here on the blog.  So, I decided I had better do that right away!  So, I'm putting together a few posts that will release over the next few days.

These four totes I did as Easter bags for my nieces and nephew.  My daughters were great to model them for me.  I have my own children's bags nearly completed, but they didn't get quite done in time for Easter for them.  They are excited to have them for piano books after spring break though.  I used a stitch and flip method on the outer bag and inserted a zippered pocket, open pocket and crayon holding pockets into the lining of each bag.  I plan to get a little tutorial with dimensions up on the blog soon.
