Tote bag using fabric from Africa - with Seminole patchwork pocket

Here's my second tote bag - one that I was excited to make as my "work" bag. It was fun - and again - only a few hour's work to make it. I love trying different seminole patchwork patterns.

@Jessiesmessys Thank you! I'm now in the process of making another one - a little wider this time...!

That is really a beautiful bag. You are so talented. I am envious of your professional sewing skills where I have absolutely none.

@sanzoparty1066 thank you so much for your kind words - it was fun to make and continues to be my "work" bag!

Buying African bags is a great way of helping the locals provide employment and food for their families.
