This was more a sick day than a snow day, but Grace and I put it to good use. I saw some cute tote bags at Target and thought it would be fun to make one, so I got some denim, felt and "notions" (read: ricrac, ribbon, and appliques) and we made a little tote bag. We used fabric we already had for the lining, and the purple trim and lining kind of tie in with the butterflies... I have trouble with predicting the order in which things should be sewn, so there are a few rough edges, but all in all it's a fun and very sturdy little bag. Maybe that gentle reminder phone call from the library will inspire Grace to keep her library books in the new bag!

Snow day, sew day.
