♥ Pure Pleasure!


I know I haven't been blogging as much as I normally do. I did hint that I was doing a little 'secret sewing'.  Well I can now let this little secret out of the bag! :-)   Last week I had the pure pleasure of testing Kim Sherrod's newest pattern~the Tote Along Tool Caddy.  :-)

The tote was designed to take your sewing and quilting supplies with you to a workshop, or to set on your sewing table and have everything handy. It has a large back pocket for your 12.5 inch ruler, or pattern book. And smaller front pockets for charm packs, smaller rulers etc~ and even side pockets for your rotary cutter  or whatever you want.  Your fabrics will fit inside, templates, marking tools, well, anything you can think to take along! And the shoulder strap is really comfortable.  You know, sometimes you buy a pattern and you can't figure out what it is they want you to do? Well, not this pattern! It is written so clearly and has such nice illustrations that anyone could make this bag and have fantastic results.  :-) 







♥  I loved it so much~ I made two!! :-)




The inside is loaded with pockets too~ I didn't take the photo with all my supplies inside because I wanted you to see all the pockets. :-)




Kim's etsy shop  has the pattern as well as the link above.  If you want to surprise a sewing friend~ or even want to step out to that next workshop in style yourself, hurry over and get a copy!  And have fun sewing up a beautiful tote!  :-)  Kim, thank you so much for trusting me to test your pattern! I love it! ♥

That really is a cute pattern, and both of your totes turned out adorably! I especially like the second one (you know how I love those '30s fabrics! :o)

Hope you have a great weekend!

Who knew that having a Halloween Hop last week would bring the chilly weather?! We had rain, wind--- the power even went out for a few hours...
