After thinking it over and over, I want to make more of birds, be it felt plushies, simple toys, tote bags or paintings. This lil blue bird has perched in my littleshop. 🙂

My previous tote was way to small to fit my sketch book, my big wallet, my keys, my phone, my receipts, my pencil box, my son’s sketch book and my all! And the bag hasn’t got any pockets so I bet you can imagine the situation in the bag, like sardine in a tin, all cramped in together. Finding things also quite difficult, I often had to take out few things out in order to search for another thing.

And so, I decided to make myself a new tote. I sat by my box of leftover fabrics and before my head even got to thinking how it should be, my hands were already doing the cutting. All the sweet floral fabrics makes me wanna go patch, so I made myself a patchwork bag!

And I made inner pockets for my pens, phone and small notepad.

I even made more pockets (big ones to easily slide in my big hands) on the outer back to put my keys and what not.

Voila! I now have a bag just like I wanted it to be; with many pockets to organise my things!
