Here’s my stash of juice pouches from the trip! Not sure why they’re in German since we were in Spain . . .
I can’t wait to make myself a little bag that, hopefully, no one around here will have!

Juice pouch tote? Check!
I finally had time to run to the sewing machine and finish off my juice pouch tote attempt #1. I’m really happy with it. It took 17 pouches to make, 4 on each side, 5 to go around the sides and 1 for each handle. I sewed it all together with a zigzag stitch and attached the handles with just a straight stitch.
I’m going to get to work planning a messenger bag or something for my laptop.

My first tote!!!
Ok, well it’s not quite finished yet but I’m crazy excited about what I have so far!!
I have a bag/tote addiction. Which is sort of crazy since I hate carrying purses, but since growing up (or at least reaching an age where I *look* grown up) I’ve started carrying something with me. Well that and having kids, now I’ve got to have things with me even if I have the diaper bag! Etsy was an addiction for a little bit, I absolutely love this lady’s bags. I own 3 of her bags, 1 was even custom made for me, I feel so special. I try not to check her site too often, I just want it all!!
I’ve become inspired by her style and started to design my own bags. This is the first one I’ve actually got to sewing. I’ve got a stash of fabric I’ve been collecting for almost a year. The teal coloured pocket is actually a dishcloth I found on clearance. The strap I have set aside was a thrift store find, currently it’s a belt but that will change. There’s a panel on the back with 2 pockets, lined in a different colour even! I’m so proud. Perhaps tonight I’ll have a chance to sew the lining. Fingers crossed, I might even get to put the strap on and sew it together!
