Cabrio Tote Sew Along Update Closed

Wow! Now we have 20 members in the Sew Along. I love this stage of the sew along. Everyone is making a plan to carry through. You have to start visualizing what the bag will look like finished. Where to place all of the prints you have gathered. Thank you for sharing your photos at Flickr: Sew Spoiled Cabrio Tote Sew Along. We are starting the cutting stage this week. Now that we have gathered our fabrics the sew along will start to move faster. Please remember to post pictures of your progress.

I adore pink and green together. She has a wonderful plan.
The top green fabric will be the lower part of the outer shell. The pink will be the upper band on the outer shell. The next green will be for pockets. Finally, the cream and pink will be the interior.”

I can’t wait to see more!
“The brown is a corduroy for the top panel, bottom and straps, the flora is Lori Siebert’s, “Beauty in Nature" will be the main body and the orange and white for the lining. I eliminated the solid orange unless I decide to use it for the pockets undecided....”

“The purple floral fabric is the main fabric. Top & Handles: bright blue and the lining will be the light blue.”

Sweet Coin Purse Tutorial for Teacher Gifts
