Tote-ally Fun Birthday Bag

All above photos taken by the lovely GCM 

I made a bag! I made it for my good pal Jackie because it is her birthday and she is now a quarter of a century old! WOW. Kool haus. Anyway, I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. It is somewhat based on the Forty Minute Tote tutorial by Purl Bee, although I mixed it up a bit with the fabric and the straps. I used a vintage floral curtain type material for the lining and a thrifted soft-ish denim cotton for the outside and the straps. I am hooked, I want to make more! I also want to draft a pattern for a clutch of some sort. We'll see. I am going to New York this weekend to visit my other good pal Cat, and then coming back to a month long project for my application to the National Theatre School and working full time while also designing the costumes for a play coming up in March, so there may not be so much time for extra-curriculars.
