Seminole tote finished.
Last year at our local store Sew This and That we had a regular class (called Free Block Frenzy) where we had a demonstration then made seminole strips. At the end of the year we had a number of them in different lengths and widths, to be made into a quilt or other item. I decided to make a large tote. I had seen this pattern in a magazine:
I did lots of calculating, measuring, alterating, joining, sewing, trimming, to make the strips into the required sizes. I then added lots of pockets (some were in the pattern, some I added myself to use up more of the blocks I had made).
And here is my finished bag:
This will be a very handy bag to take to classes as it is a good size for fitting in all the bits and pieces needed.
