Simple Market Totes








Late night storm came by and brought lots rain in! The air is cool and the sky is cloudy! It is perfect for staying home and sew! S is reading her books and asked for morning tea! It is in the process of brewing while I am writing the post. I made four market totes yesterday and had the idea of keeping them simple and easy pattern! This is probably the very first time that I didn't need to go out to get extra materials for.  I was able to use most of the fabric and rejoin them for the handles.  These fabric are woven fabric, which gives a simple Zakka making look! I got these woven fat quarters during the summer trip. I added some lightweight canvas fabric scrap piece that I have.   I just love these stripes print!! The blue stripes print was free in the fabric shop!

As I mentioned that my friend and I are swapping food weekly! Either veggies from her garden or cookies from my kitchen! We love the idea of sharing and trying different food/cooking! It has been fun!! I hope to surprise her with these market totes when we meet again next week! I can just picture her keeps saying " what? you made these for me??" 

Sometimes, I prefer simple sewing! It relax myself and a great way to give to friends who appreciate the handmade!  Tea is ready and we are baking for some sweets today! Today is the day for sweet treats!
