How to create your very own sweat shop . . .

Most of you know by now just how much I love {and have used} Anna's 241 Tote Pattern. Last week I made five of these babies in three days for my girls for Mother's Day. I might just as well have been in a sweat shop in Timbuktu. I came up for air and food, but that's about it. I can't complain too much though, because these beauties were the result of that sewing frenzy...




I paired muslin with fabric from Joel Dewberry's Aviary 2 collection for all of these totes. I {obviously} love everything about this line of fabrics -- the color pallets, the traditional designs, and the beautiful life-like patterns.
