Tote Bag Prototype Update

Quick update on my tote bag project...
Z and I have learned that it pays to take breaks when it comes to "making". Sometimes, you get so caught up on wanting to finish a project that you end up compromising the craftmanship. It took some major self-control but I managed to tear myself away from the machine and quit while I was ahead.

So as you can see, that aint muslin. I decided to be hopeful, rather than chance getting it right but not being able to enjoy the fruits of my labor with a bag made out of muslin =)

So here it is - I've sewed the two separate pieces but I still have to sew the lining to the bag, add a hook/button, and add pockets... still lots to do.
