For Ms. Carly’s 1st Birthday

June 11th, 2009

Wow, really it has been a bit hasn’t it since I have posted anything… it’s not that I haven’t been doing anything. honest. I have just been a bit sidetracked/overwhelmed/sleep deprived– all complements of my brand-spankin’ new baby, Mr. A! The good news is… there really isn’t any bad I guess… I feel like I am coming out of my three month newborn baby slump. I am getting back into the swing of things, starting with this tote I made up for a special little girl Carly who turned one last weekend.

I used the same dimensions for this one as I did for Ms. Haislea a year ago. This time when I cut the patterned fabric I cut salvage to salvage 5 1/2” wide, the same as before, and used the extra to make a pocket inside, so there was no waste. Score.

I know the pics aren’t all that great, I wasn’t able to give the linen the attention that it needed, but it is a miracle I was even able to get pictures!! I finished this one up in just the nick of time, thanks to my rock star sister taking care of fussy Mr. A.
