Yay! I’ve completed my swaps and they’re on their way to their new homes.  It was a lot of fun, but I don’t think I’ll do so many swaps all at once again.  I have one more month to complete the Embroidered Button swap, and I decided to not participate in the Bird Inchie swap afterall.  I was just having a hard time getting into such a tiny craft.  I also need to complete my last two Pay It Forward swaps – are you two still out there or have you given up on me?  :)

Here’s what I sent out this week:

So about the tote… I would call it more of a bag, or maybe a purse, just because the strap is so short.  I used the Grand Revival Flea Market Bag pattern which was pretty easy to follow.  I had a hard time understanding how to do the pocket, so I just went pocketless.  I was confused on the word, “pocket facing”.  What’s it mean?  Other than that, it was quick and easy, but I do recommend increasing the strap length.  I used more of that bed sheet from Target, and lined the bag with fusible interfacing.
