Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

My little sis is moving to Portland this week,
and since she is heading
to one of the most environmentally friendly
states in the union,
I figured she needed a cute reusable tote
to do her part.

So Saturday afternoon,
I hauled out the old sewing machine and got to sewing.
I found my mom's manual last weekend
when they were cleaning out their garage,
so I was able to re-thread the machine,
and put my applique talents to use!

Thanks to some felt, a fabric scrap, a canvas tote, and my "artistic" skills -

Voila!

Now, I need to try my hand at my apron.
I think I may be ready!
