Pulled out the serger this past weekend to make some quick totes. It took me almost as long to set it up for 4-thread overlock as it did to make my totes. I'm not saying it is difficult to change the set-up because it isn't. It just takes a few minutes to find the cheat-sheet and tools to get it set up correctly. Threading is a breeze!
My aunt sent me these fabrics a couple years ago and they've been sitting on a shelf for entirely too long. I went over to the
Green Bag Lady's blog to refresh my memory on the
free tote pattern and cut out four bags with these remnants. This was my Saturday morning project. So satisfying to use something up and have a finished tote ready for gifting. I'm trying to use more fabric I already own. I'm not sure I'm making any progress but I'm trying.
Then
Green Bag Lady regularly gives away totes through random drawings. Follow her blog or the
Green Bag Lady Facebook page. Great work keeping paper and plastic bags out of the landfill.
