I finished another commissioned tote.
This one is for Cyndi.
I met her on Wool Snippets,
a rug-hooking forum that we
belonged to for several years.
(still do, I guess.)
While I had my rug-hooking business,
I think that Cyndi bought almost
every single pattern I sold.
She even commissioned a custom pattern,
showing the two new pups she got
after her beloved Jagger died.
She was definitely my best customer
in my rug-hooking business!
Here is the other side...
Here is the inside with pockets...
Made with Iced Mocha, of course.
Except for the lining,
which is my all-time fave neutral.
I don't use a pattern for these totes.
I take my fabric and do with it
whatever comes and it all works out.
On the last two, I have sewn
binding around the top of the tote.
You know, binding like I use on my quilts.
I think it gives the tote a more finished look.
Don't you?

This tote measures ~11.5 x 12.5 x 3.5 inches.
A nice size to take with you
full of whatever you wish.
I think she'll like it.

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful!!! My favorite fabric line too! :-) I do like the binding on the top. Probably makes for a stronger hold to the handles too? Keep on stitchin'... we want to see MORE!!! (no pressure... lol)

Gosh, ma'am you do good work! I would love to commission a tote from you! (that was serious, BTW)
Hugs,

p.s. I'm knitting away....about half way done!
I am sure she will love it, you did a beautiful job on it.
That is one lesson I want to learn from the shop, so I can learn what threads and needles etc, to use with my machine for heavier items.
