Latest noteProgress 35% Date Mar 30, 2024 Project Lotus Flower Tote Pattern Test Mood 😊 I've been enjoying this so much. Finished the first motif earlier and halfway done with the second. I've made quite a few cotton tote/ market bags lately and this one is feeling like a really perfect project for me. One of my last bags was beautiful (and not even as nice looking as this pattern!) but such a pain where I constantly had to stare at the pattern and decided I'd never make another. I've already told a friend I'll make her one of this pattern. Granted I've also never made a bag in this way, working one side up and then the other so hope I haven't spoken too soon and the joining won't be too difficult. But so far this has been such a pleasure to work on!
