Do you ever want to make something now and push your other project(s) to the back seat? That's me. When I finding something I want to make, immediately the fabric starts flying.
I've had this cute Canine Chronicles fabric with full intentions of making a tote for my daughter or granddaughter. Granddaughter is an editor for World Book and loves dogs so it was appropriate fabric to add to the fabric already in waiting.
This is a quick and easy pattern using about a half yard of two colors of fabric. this could be number 24 on the list. It's one of Robin Gallagher's patterns. I like it because it is French seamed and looks a bit more professional than some of the easy totes. I've added a front pocket for coupons or keys.
I've made several of her patterns and taken a class from her. She makes her patterns basic and easy to follow with lots of photos.

there's this delightful butterfly applique pattern. This came to the forward part of my list and am glad it did. Later when I have time, I'll add some embroidered stitches across the bottom. It looks like fun in the kitchen. Do you remember the Joys of Jello cookbook? Many great oldies to recreate in there.
Here it is hanging in the kitchen.
Happy June. Hope you are having good weather.

That tote really calls my name. Specifically, I have some quilty newsprint fabric and it too would look great as a tote of some sort. I'll go explore the patterns by Robin. Thanks for the info.
