lotta: first born + adopted

Lotta, lotta, lotta! I am partially moved into my studio and I had to make something or was going to explode. So here is my first born project out of my studio. It's Lotta Jansdotter's All Day Tote from her Simple Sewing book. I modified it slightly from Lotta's specs, I made the handles longer [it has to hang on my shoulder] and I didn't add the key strap.


As if I didn't get enough Lotta, I recently adopted [purchased] one of her linen table runners that I have been eying for sometime. Perhaps I was motivated by the free tote offer...like I need another tote. But it's so cute...

Hopefully soon I will produce some creations of my own design, but since I haven't crafted in awhile I just have to scratch the craft itch.
