I ADORE Heather Ross - her fabric, her tan, and her book:

There are so many practical, cute, and unintimidating patterns and projects in this book. I think it is a book that I can really see myself using every pattern that is in it. I have already made some good headway - my most recent project: the Everything Tote:
I should have taken a picture holding it so you can see how big this thing is. It is HUGE. But it is also unintruding. I thought at first it would just be used as a weekend bag, but the way it slouches as you wear it make the size hardly noticeable. It is so lightweight and easy to carry, while it carries everything :)
I made one for my sister as well that I made into a diaper bag. I added a lot more pockets and made them deeper. I also added a key ring. It was really cute, but I sent it home with her without taking pictures for you to see.
I like that it isn't flimsy like a lot of big, slouch bags. Do you think it would hold its shape if you hadn't used that stiff canvas fabric for the outside?
ReplyDeleteI doubt that it would stay very stiff if I used regular weight cotton fabric. I that a home decor or heavier weight is ideal for the outer bag.
