I finally got around to working up a lining for the tote bags. A friend had oodles of cotton lining left over from drape making and she gave it to me to use as a lining for my bags. I think that I could quite possibly make several dozen bags with the material. I have now completed four.
The colours are quite summery and I'm pleased with how they turned out. I have several more colours of yarn to use still. Currently I'm working on a tan coloured bag. I will have to get a different lining material for this one as well as the other scrapbags I made before. The white will be too stark I think. Sewing is not one of my favourite past times. I haven't made anything for ages and I usually only sew when something falls apart and needs repair, but I actually enjoyed making the linings for these bags. Maybe I'll get into sewing again. I've always wanted to try quilting... *winks*
