This year, I discovered one of my closest friends is moving away to attend boarding school in Devon. It has all been quite sudden and she will of course be greatly missed.
So I was racking my brains trying to think of something special to give her as a ‘going away’ present, and decided that a handmade tote bag would be nice, and very useful. And if I do say so myself, I really love it! If it was anyone else, I might have had a harder time parting with it…
(I think I will have to make myself one too, maybe with this fabric.)
I am going to send the little parcel to her at school as well so it will be even more of a surprise, and a comfort in an unfamiliar environment. Hope she likes it!
I seem to be feeling very generous recently – two non-selfish sewing projects in one week! ;)
that is so cute! I love the polka dots. How big did you make it?
Thank you! I think I might write a little tutorial on how to make the bag and the label, as a couple of people have asked this :)
This is really nice ! I wonder how you made this label “made with love…”?
Thank you! Keep your eyes out as I think I might be writing a little tutorial on the bag and label as a couple of people have asked this :)
I love that label!
How cute! How did you do the tag?

Hi Sophia,
That’s very cute and neat gift! I also like the color combination. Light blue x Orange.
The glasses fabric is very unique and I am sure it will look pretty with your outfit.
I agree with the above comments its a great bag and the label is a lovely finishing touch that has about the same amount of impact as the bag :) Lovely project in general!
