My mom loves to knit. So, for Mother's Day, I decided to put together a knitting bag for her. This was so much fun, and I'm really happy with how it turned out! If I was a knitter, I would want this bag.
The fabrics that I used were repurposed. They were once an old sheet and a duvet cover. They made a gorgeous tote!
The first thing I did was embroider this cute saying on the sheet. I love the balls of yarn and knitting needles at the top!
I appliqued the saying onto the front of the tote, and then covered it with some ribbon.
Here's the straps coming together. I just sewed the strips down the center then pressed them in half again and sewed a finishing stitch down both sides.
The finger? Battle wound. I was attacked by my embroidery machine while working on the saying above...
I pinned the straps to the bag and made sure that both sides would line up.
I like the sew the straps on by stitching a square first, and then do an "X" in the middle.
I LOVE MY SERGER! I serged all the edges together and turned the bag right side out.
Isn't it cute? 
I added a little bit of bling, and there it is! The perfect knitting bag. I LOVE IT! And I hope my mom will, too
Happy Mother's Day, Mom! Love ya!
Oh, and Mom, Jim's contribution is embroidered on the inside of the bag... :D
