Sewing: Ruffle Hobo Bag


She picked the Ruffle Hobo Tote.

It had to be in teal.

And after working on it intermittently during the past three months it is finally done!

Three months? Yes, three months....because I get frustrated easily.   If I don't understand directions and there's no pictures to match, I put it off to the side to work on another project until I muddle it out.  If the pattern pieces name don't make sense, I put it off to the side to work on another project until I muddle it out.

Needless to say, there were quite a few things I needed to muddle out.

But the worst? I broke my ruffling foot and had to wait for a replacement!

It is an absolutely beautiful bag, and hopefully we'll get together this weekend so she can start using it.

I hear you on the "putting it aside then muddling through" business. I seem to be doing a lot of that lately.

But the tote is funderful! (Is that a word?) I love the kicky ruffles and the beautiful colors. Bravo to you for muddling through to the finish!
