Binding Tote Bag (For Me!!)

There's some selfish sewing happening around these parts ...

 I've just bought this scrumptious Japanese Linen ... it was 30% off ... I couldn't help myself ... and it goes so well with these hexies I've put together.

... that Aurifil fell in my bag too ... because well, it's a match made in heaven.


I'm just after the perfect leather handles now ... I quite like the ones Rachel used here.

 I'm hoping to make a bag similar to this Zakka one ...

Something to carry my quilts around in when I'm binding them.  I like to hand sew the binding down, so they get dragged everywhere with me at this stage (a few stitches here, a few stitches there) and so I need a large tote bag to carry it around in, right?

 Happy Wednesday!

    Ooooh that linen will go great with those hexes, which are such great colours! I'm loving where you're going with this bag...

    I laughed seeing your tote example pictures ;)

    Where did you get that linen?! I need to find some because my Essex Linen is about to run out and our dollar is still down :(

    The Aurifil thread matches so perfectly and the linen is really going to let the colorful hexies shine.

    Yes, you definitely needed that linen and yes, you definitely need a big bag to carry your 'binding in progress' quilts in - can't wait to see it!

    I love looking through the blogs and getting so many idea for hexies. I'm making lots of them, but past table toppers I just haven't decided yet what I am going to do with them.

    If you are not in a rush, the craft show in May will probably unearth handles. Have you looked at Studio Mio (www.studiomio.com.au)? She usually has a stall at the show or you can order online if you need them quickly.
