Homage to Stephanie

Stephanie inspired me last month with the lovely hand-made tote which she was using for her quilting stuff. It's an excellent size, unlined, stylish and easy to sew. I knew then that I had to pay homage.....aka copy her....by making one of my own.

Stephanie directed me to the website "make your own grocery bags" 
http://www.sew4home.com/projects/storage-solutions/make-your-own-grocery-bags
which makes them sound a whole lot more frumpy than the final products actually are. 

I must say that this bag took me all of one hour to make, and the measurements are spot on. I used Ikea decor fabric for the body, and some grey linen from my stash which I interfaced with thick facing so that it was quite firm. 

Can't wait to use it. Thanks Steph!
