I just finished a sewing project and I’m in love with it. It’s a little brown bag – called the Quarry Tote from Noodlehead.

I certainly don’t need another purse but what a fun little project. I especially had fun picking out the hardware for this pattern. A brass-look zipper that I matched with a big “O” shaped zipper pull and a brass magnetic closure. I wanted a neutral color scheme so I chose brown canvas (mid-weight Kokka) with stripy webbing for the handles. For the lining a chose a more colorful print (Ruby Star Geometry). The bag is only about 9 inches tall and it has a cute shape with a round bottom. I lengthened the handles so I can put it over my shoulder.

I had some help with this project in the form of kitties sitting right in the middle of my fabric as I tried to cut and also kitties trying to sit in my lap while I used my sewing machine. Ooof.
