Not Another Sew Along.

I joined a group on Facebook just for sew alongs.  The first one is the Martha Tote by ithinksew found on Craftsy for free. 

The leader is moving more slowly than me (what?!) so I finished mine up this weekend. I have a second to work on as well. I had purchased "kits" from 2Minutes2Stitch.  Below is the first one. I'll add the second one to this post when it's done. Love!!

Here's number two!

Quarter Moon Sew Along

I joined a sew along last month. It was for June's Bag Of The Month. It is called the Lunar Collection by ChrisW Designs. :)

I'm doing the smallest one called the Quarter Moon. 

It took me forever to do the prep work but that's done, phew! And now I'm on to the fun part, construction!

Prepped pieces:

Straps all sewn and waiting until later to attach. 

Four lower straps:

So much fun!! I work on the slip pocket next. I might make some card slots or something for inside. I have that top slip pocket for inside already, though. 

Update on 07/19/16:

I'm on step 10 or something. 

This is an older pic. Feet are on the bag and I've made the side pockets. So fun! I sewed the wrong length zip, so I have to recut the zip tabs (I had to cut them off) and try again. 

Update on 08/19/16:

I furiously finished it last weekend! I decided to use some pre made cork straps instead of the fabric ones. I love carrying this one around!

Here she is!
