This is one of my new friends with the non profit. After she learned to do the tote on Tuesday, she went home and made four. If you look real close, she changed the pattern up some....now that is being creative savy. Change it up and make it your own. I wish you could see it better.
This painting on top of the fabric is called elei, this gal went home and did this technique and then sewed up this beautiful bag. I truly wish you could see it. I loved it so much, she asked if I wanted it......I declined....she needs to sell her wares not give them away.Notice the flower?
Here they are with the cosetic bags and their drawstring back packs. What a fun group of women. Sometimes there is a language barrier but we work through it. I think sewing is an international language....just point and draw.
They have a class with the Human Resources with about 25 people when they leave me on Tuesday and Thrusday. They went in Tuesday sporting all the things they made, well....everyone wanted to learn how so today they are taking their sewing machines and showing them. How fun is that? They are so eager to learn and to teach.

Lovely women and lovely bags! How wonderful that they are spreading all the sewing love that you showed them.

What a good thing you/they are doing! You must be a wonderful teacher because bags are not easy in my mind and it looks like you have them learning pretty quickly.
Beautiful bag! I don't think you can make anything ugly when you start with wonderful fabric. Love the cosmetic bags.
