July One Monthly Goal Finished!


I am happy to say that I completed my OMG at Elm Street Quilts for July

My goal was to sew this Gingham Tote from Noodle-head's book, "Handmade Style"
I really do like it and I have used it already on a camping trip last weekend. It was nice to sling over my shoulder while we were walking around town. The shoulder strap is the same fabric as this front pocket.


The leather handles were new for me to do. I have not done rivets before, but once I figured it out, it wasn't too bad. Although, I am not anxious to do more rivets. In order to get the hole in the leather big enough to poke the rivet through, I had to keep turning an awl around towards the larger part of the awl. I could only take doing one strap each evening.


I like that it just closes with a snap so I can put things into it while walking and shopping. 

This was my Original post for July One Monthly Goal

    Great job making your bag, rivets and all! I have that book too. I’ll have to take it out and look through it again for potential projects. I like your pocket fabric, too-Luna moths?

    Hi Danette! What a handy and useful bag. I love that it just has one snap at the top - you can keep it closed yet can easily open it with one hand. And the pockets inside are so useful as well. At least you can easily find your keys or phone or what have you without digging. ~smile~ Roseanne
