Design Wall Monday 12.23.2024

 DD asked if I would make her a 'foster tote' with a zipper.

The 'foster tote' is the HowellMelonHeads adaption of the Mondo Bag. A long time ago, I made a tote then decided to add a recessed zipper. 

DD wanted black denim on the outside and yellow on the inside. Her jeans are stretch but I wasn't sure exactly 'how' that would sew. I did go to the local Salvation Army and found a pair of regular black denim jeans sized 42 x 30. I then made the management decision to go with a daisy print for the interior. DD is partial to daisies as that was the name of our Golden Retriever when she was growing up.



pattern: Foster tote based on the Mondo Bag, found here.
                        The one I used before is now a dead link. :(

Daisy grew to a grand lady of 14 years. She loved the water (but not a bath), snow and being outside. She passed away from cancer in 2016.
