I bought a new sewing machine! I found a great deal on an Elna 780+ at my local dealer. Wow, does this have all the dream features a quilter would ever need! I especially like the retractable LED light you can pull out over the needle. It makes sewing in the evening such a pleasure!
I bought the fabric for this tote last summer and am now starting the pattern. It's a labor intensive pattern I've discovered. Lots of prep on the pattern pieces before the sewing begins. Ironing stabilizer onto some of the pattern pieces and assembling the zippers.
Assembling the outside pockets is definitely for the more experienced person, it's not a pattern for beginners.
The pattern is challenging, especially the part where you sew on the handles. But here's what I've got done so far! I'm going to tackle this tote bag!
Update Tues. Jan 3rd: The lining is finished. All that I need to do is sew the lining to the main bag!
Update Wed. Jan 4th: Finished! I love this bag and I recommend the pattern. It's called the Superbloom Travel Bag by SewSweetness.
