A little more sewing

I made some bags.  The first one I did with no patchwork, just one fabric for the outside and one for the inside. 

I wanted to do a trial run with sewing per the directions without adding anything extra to worry about i.e. patchwork.

Another tutorial that I have browsed again and again always thinking to myself, wouldn't it be nice to have some of those reversible drawstring bags to throw my projects into.  Whenever we go somewhere I always have multiple bags to hold snacks, projects, toys, camera, you name it I am probably carrying it.  So unless I want to carry one more bag, which I don't, my knitting gets stuffed into the big bag with everything else.  These little tote bags have already made all the difference.  Just enough fabric to keep everything separate but not so much that it adds much bulk or weight to my already hefty bag.

For the patchwork I used 4" squares instead of 2 1/2" squares and I adjusted the lining accordingly.  Other than that little modification I followed the directions completely.  A great blog with plenty of more tutorials you can find this one here.  Now come on....no matter what kind of crafting you do couldn't you always use one more bag to hold it in?
