Finished art tote!

Hello Everyone,

I can't believe it's the middle of August already! Just amazing how quickly time is flying.

So I got Carson's art tote done, yah!

I put a pocket on the outside of his. It can hold his new drawing book, or extra paper.

The inside has a place for paper, a zip pocket and a pocket for pens. The black case you see has 8 different drawing pencils in it, as well as an eraser and a sharpener. I'll let him choose if he wants to keep them in the black case or put them in the pockets.

It zips up too. I decided not to put handles on this one. I sure hope he likes it.

Now I can get started on quilting his quilt. And do some more work on Rachael's quilt.

Have a great day!

An art tote

I hope you all had a fabulous weekend. With lots of friends, family, food....and sewing! LOL.

I'm linking up with Jenna at SewHappyGeek. Thanks Jenna.

And with Karen at sewmanyways. Thanks Karen!






My Daughter is an avid writer and drawer. She has books on how-to-draw animals, people, and other things. She writes short stories and in a journal. She always is toting around books, paper, pens, etc. So, I decided she needed a good art tote.

 I put thin cardboard in between the outer and inner fabric, instead of batting. To make it nice and stiff. It has two sturdy handles, and two zippers to keep everything inside.

 A large pocket, a smaller pocket and a zip pouch.

So it holds quite a bit of stuff. The pockets are nice and roomy. And it's made with some tougher broadcloth type stuff.

Let me know if anyone would like a tutorial on it.

Have a great day!
