Tote's first outing...

I'm so so proud of my tote bag that i had to make another post about it !!!!

I had some shopping to do on Friday so i thought it would be a great first for my bag....so i put my favorite sandals on and off i went...

.i bought biscuits and food for the little ones and some vegetables for us, greens, beetroot and fresh corn which i absolutely love!! I carried almost everything in my tote bag (not the pet food cause it weights 3kgr) and it was very helpful !!

Back home i played with the puppies...the get bigger and cuter everyday...they want to discover new places and keep loosing themselves around the house and then cry for help...its really funny but we have to be alert all the time so that we don't step on them accidentally...they also try to eat their mummy's food but its too early for that...so they just lick and taste it...

That's all the news from yesterday...im gonna make some roast corn now and enjoy a quiet night in...mrB went to watch football with his friends and I'll have 2 lovely hours to relax...

So i leave you for now...have a lovely weekend (whats left of it anyway) !!!

sewing a bag

All this time i was looking at sewing projects, especially bags and i wanted to make my own although i don't have a sewing machine. I still had the fabric from IKEA (and lots of spare time) so i decided to give it a try.

Once again without a pattern i folded the fabric in the middle and started sewing the two sides together. I had it turned inside out of course, and when i finished i just sewed the two bottom corners in a triangle shape to make the bag look better. I just looked at it and sewed wherever i thought i should. I made the two handles and attached them to the body, sewed two cute yellow buttons on the front of it and ta dah!!!! My first ever bag is ready!!!! The fabric was very thick and it made the whole thing very difficult and tiring for my poor fingers but i like the final result so much that i no longer care about it ! I also made a little heart and a puff stitch flower to decorate it :)

As you see i didn't make a lining, i just didn't have the courage for more hand sewing...plus i was way to bored to go out and look for fabric (38C is too hot for me to run around...although i did go for jogging in the afternoon :p). I don't think it really matters...i will use it to put in groceries, mainly vegetables from the market...or should i carry it all the time??
