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!

    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 :(

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

  8. 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!

  9. 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.

  11. 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.
