The Origami Bento bag. I found the tutorial for this sweet bag here it did give me some hassles but,as you can see I figured them out. The only thing I do not like about this is that it is not lined,the next one I make will be though. This would make a great project bag!
And here she is! First let me say I Love the finished tote! From the fabric to the size,all around this is a winner. I did change a thing or two,and will be changing a couple more the next time around...
One of the things I did was to add an inside pocket,because a girl can never have too many pockets! Either I mis-read the directions or,something? The green facing you see here I was totally expecting to be on the outside of the tote (I planned for it,that is why I chose to use this print). Next time the facing will be on the outside of the tote. I did follow the directions...
The only other thing I was disappointed with is that my yellow Paisley that I specially fussy cut(see the pocket photo above) for the front slip pocket is wrapped around to the bottom of the tote :( When looking at the directions I thought that it looked like it would end up with part of the pocket on the bottom of the tote...should have listened to myself and made the pocket height shorter. Next time I will do that for sure.
