/post/5545896/Shop+update Shop update Fiorita tote bag

I made four bags. Until now, I sewed only one bag at a time but the other day I projected (choosing fabrics and shapes), cutted and sewed them "in a batch", because I wanted to try and see if I'd be saving some hours of work this way. And what I suspected  was correct: sewing multiple things together works fine not only for other crafters but also for me, phew! And I discovered some interesting (for me, ha!) things. For example, cutting the fabric is the more time-taking activity (always for me): I took one hour and half only to cut all the four bags (lining + outsides + handles). Sewing is actually the smoothest thing, while I tend to stress during the final assembly (put the handles on the bag, stitch all together and turn inside out). And making the handles can be pretty boring sometimes...all that ironing and pressing for just a couple of fabric pieces :)

I made four bags

All the bags (pictured above), made exception for the first from the left, are now avalaible in the shop section of this site.
You might remember the red/gray/sand flowers fabric from here and here, though the first bag was much smaller and had different handles than this new one, and the second was lined with a different fabric color (it also had a strange pocket inside).
You can see more pics and descriptions of all them in the related pages in the shop area, and also on my crafts|for sale flickr set.

This fabric below is so "me" it could have my name printed on it! It's my most favourite fabric I own yet (more pics here and here; and here a crappy pic of me modeling the bag).
