Please, no more totes!

Remember this post, well, more birthdays are coming up in my daughter’s Sunday school class, and even though the last birthday will be in November, I really wanted to finish sewing them all, so I can start on something new.  I’m just not very good at starting many projects at once because I like to finish a project at a time, though having a few projects on the go might prevent boredom I think but nah, it’s just not in my make up to have various projects on the go.

Anyway,  here they are, my last 4 totes, hoping to not make another one too soon.  No appliques on these but some simple running stitches inspired by this project.

And this is what they look like from the back/side.

My woven labels from here that I have to now use in all my projects.  I’m not sure when I’ll finish using 600 pieces of labels since I only sew for “fun”.

This was my first time sewing with invisible thread which I had in my sewing basket for a while  and I actually quite like it.  I didn’t have to adjust the tension as some have suggested, just make sure that you’re not using the invisible thread in the bobbin.  As you can see, it’s not entirely invisible but still, it does hide my wonky top-stitching quite well (if you don’t look too closely).

And just for fun, my practice macro shot from my trusty 5 year old point and shoot camera.  Still got so much to learn about photography.
