Some projects seem to hang around my creative space until they have matured a bit. I think I bought this roll of red mesh to make a tote back about six or seven years ago. This is the little stack of lingering projects I pulled out of hiding this week. I may not get all of them done but if I don't look at them they will never get done.
I bought this mesh, so long ago that when I searched for the pattern and pattern maker online I couldn't find either. I did find several YouTube videos that helped me figure out exactly what the pattern designer had been trying, poorly, to articulate. Maybe I'm a more visual learner than I think. I liked the video tutorial offered by the
Fabric Junction on their shop page. Easy to follow, explains everything, and I basically went with their directions.
This is a seriously sized tote. The mesh was trimmed to about 18" by 18". The fabric was on the discontinued shelf at my local quilt shop and was entirely too cute to leave behind. I'm super-pleased with how this turned out.
