ACK! I’ve been so bad at posting to this blog. Life has been busy lately, and blogging has fallen to the bottom of my to-do list.
I have a lot in my Cherry Red hopper at the moment, and I’ve been so focused on creating new things, that I haven’t been keeping you all in the loop
I made this custom tote for my old friend Rachel (seriously, I went to elementary school with her!) who is expecting her first baby at the end of June (OMG!) and wanted a baby bag to match her adorable stoller.
This bag is up there among my favorite custom creations of all time:

I created the leafy pattern, screen printed it onto the fabric (in three custom mixed colors), and made some extra buttons out of some of the fabric scraps. I also reinforced the bottom, but I forgot to take a picture
The teal straps were a PERFECT match for the polka dotted teal lining fabric, I really couldn’t have been more perfect!

Congrats Rachel! I hope you (and your baby) love your new tote!
