I think I'm getting better at sewing, or maybe oilcloth is a very forgiving material and I couldn't go THAT wrong! Yesterday I tried to make a tote bag out of an oilcloth that I've found with a cute pattern (or at least something that didn't seem so much like a table cloth). For once more... I didn't measure, well... I measured but only in the beginning, just to have my two first pieces even, after that I "went with the flow"! hahahaha
Yes, I know, I'm impossible!
That's why I'll never be good at sewing!
This was the Tote Bag that I had in mind.
I remembered that I've seen it but I didn't have the tutorial in my hands, so I improvised! How difficult could that be?! Well, all I can say is that at least I ended up with something that is decent and not a disaster... AGAIN! I started sewing, the pieces turned out smaller that I expected so I cut the whole thing in half and made something that "looked like a wallet", with many flaws if I may add
I made the flaws seem
like they were on purpose
and with the second part which included the hemming of the oilcloth (I think that's why it wasn't a total disaster after all) I've made a small tote bag.
I also made a flower with some pieces of oilcloth and put it on the bag with a brad.
They are cute, don't you think?
this is amazing!! Well done!! Im going to get some oilcloth so i can sew an apron! Oilcloth is very easy to sew with i think :) xo
