Totally Turquoise



This tote is very turquoise and I'm not sure how I feel about that. It's almost spring though so it should be okay. The bag turned out way bigger than I planned. I really should just follow a pattern or make a pattern or something that makes sense because I just make them as I go and then wonder why they don't look like what I imagined. Silly me.

Gotta love the ruffle though.

  1. I LOVE this bag! I have the same problem with my thought-up projects...they don't always turn out how I imagined them. But sometimes they do turn out better!

  2. I love the bag and the color but my house it filled with this color so I am bias. And I do love the ruffle!

  7. It's lovely!! I've learned to step away from my projects for a while to try to keep the "It's too _____" thoughts away because I never follow a pattern either! Funny. It's a great size and gorgeous color :)

  11. You made this as you went?!? Girl, you are talented! I'm totally digging the turquoise - perfect for spring! And I absolutely LOVE the ruffles. I just made a tote that I didn't love till a few days after I made it. Sometimes things have to grow on ya I guess. But this one is a winner! Thanks for showing it off!
