It’s May already!

Are you enjoying beautiful May? It’s my daughter’s birthday month and my girls are already waiting for the summer break.

I like vacation because I don’t need to worry about lunch menu (all my three girls don’t like school lunch.) but I don’t like them fighting. lol

May is a very busy and fun month at the same time, any way.

My Shine your light tote bag was featured on Homespun magazine May issue and that makes this month more fun, for sure.

 

 

 

 

One side has a big pocket and

 

the other side has a small pocket. Which side do you call a front? For me I like this side a tiny bit more. 😉

 

To help anyone can try sewing illustration, I designed a very simple rose and enlarged the size. Doesn’t it look easy to try? Go go!!

 

Comapre to this rose. I made this bag first and liked it a lot. But my girl said it looked like a grandma’s bag. So I tried ‘modern style’ right after. That’s how my Shine your light tote was born. Isn’t it good to have three critics in the family? Not always though. 😉

 

I love to hide little details here and there. That’s why I enjoy making bags and pouches even though I don’t need that many bags.

 

Just like that! Big bag must have a small pocket for iphone! Don’t you agree? ^^
