I've enjoyed this sewing project. I've learned alot and it took some try and error but I love the end result. I really used my sewing machine in ways I haven’t got around to before. Using fashion discs for the seam around the appliqué and the tote bag itself was a big thing for a novel sewer like me. So good for me J.
I've used different tutorials for the bag sewing:

I have to say those were two and a half hectic days. I needed to do this kind of big project for a new be like me in just a few days because my mother in law was about to fly over to NY to visit her daughter and lovely 3 granddaughters. And I really wanted to make them something. The start was this great idea I saw on TV on how to bling your flip flops so I made one for mom Limor and her tow older girls and of course I thought it would be great to put each per of shoes in a tote bag made by me. And for the youngest who's only a day apart from my baby Abi. I wanted to make a birthday outfit with overall and a tutu and I added a tank top with her initials. So I'm sorry my sweet child that I was a bit jumpy and kept on sewing all day. Now that it's done I promise you its all fun with a trip on a train and a day with me and grandma and your aunt Maya. So here are pics I took.
Sew a birthday outfit for my soon to be 2 year old niece, including a tutu skirt and at shirt. And for her lovely mom and two older sisters I want to make custom flip flops.
My sister maya asked me to sew her hat.
And my Abi is helping me and modeling the dress I made her. The dress is inspired by the pillow case dress pattern but it's actually made from an old maternity shirt I didn’t like so much.
