Lazy Girl Designs – September Challenge
In honor of National Sewing Month, Lazy Girl Designs is sponsoring a challenge – sew two gifts. The trick is to give the gifts to non-sewers to encourage them to start the hobby.
The Head Lazy Girl herself, Joan Hawley has posted a tote bag pattern for free! The bag is the perfect project to familiarize yourself with your sewing machine if you are a little rusty. Plus, you only need 1 yard of fabric. It doesn’t get any better than that.
Besides this challenge, this one hour tote bag pattern is a great one to keep in your stash. Christmas is coming. The tote bags would make great last-minute gifts. Call it a market tote, make a gift tag out of an old paper bag and give it to your favorite environmentalist.
If you were planning on making quilts for Christmas, you could make a tote to serve as a gift bag. Another thought is to use one of your quilt blocks as an applique to the front of the tote to jazz it up.
