This is my Everything Tote, from Heather Ross' Weekend Sewing.
I made it almost a year ago and finally took some photos of it this summer, during our holiday in Portugal. And I was very pleased that my very sweet Godmother - who is a professional seamstress (so it was a bit nervwrecking having to show her the bag I sewed...) - accepted modelling it! She was very funny with whole thing and of course there were lots of jokes about vegetables...! We had a great laugh! Thank you Gina!
I know a lot has been written about this pattern, and the erratas in the book, and yes I did have problems with the handles, but in the end I got a great tote which really carries EVERYTHING! This summer we've used it as a beach bag, a market bag, a "mum" bag, a shopping bag.... And it just holds so much! And as a user, lover and dependent on big bags this was definitely a great project to have done. And I will do more of these, I'm sure!
The outer fabric is from Åhléns, from last year's collection. The lining fabric is deep pink cotton, from a local fabric shop.
Está fantástico! Também tenho o livro e tem projectos tão giros que nem sei por onde começar. Mas provavelmente também vou fazer esse tote, que parece mesmo muito prático!
ReplyDeleteGosto muito de sacos assim práticos e grandes para que caibam todas as nossas tralhas lá dentro. Não conhecia o livro, obrigada pela partilha.
