My First Handmade Tote!

I got sick of holding my folder in my hands everyday, so I decided a big tote bag would do me some good.

Professional designers have taken advantage of the Green Trend by selling over-priced totes to replace the plastic bag, and I think that's just silly. RM100+ for a tote? Puh-lease! I could make one so for under RM30.

So I went to Nilai last Sunday and bought a meter of a really cute printed fabric.


I went home, and sewed all night...

... And continued the next morning.

Here's what I ended up with!

The photo doesn't do the printed design any justice, really.

Aida begged to borrow it to take to school, so I let her have it for the week. She came back home that evening and said three of her friends want one too. 8-O

Having people be willing to pay for something I make? Awesomeness to the power of ten.

Dunno when I'll have the time to sit in front of the sewing machine again though... But I promise I'll start soon.

Lots of love,

from Me.

ps: Thanks to Syahirah Suhaimi for telling me where to look for nice fabrics! We had loads of fun at Jelita.
