Play with the roll of Kraft-Tex that Sarah and Holly found at QuiltCon 2018 - check. I like this little tote. But it's too little. I'm not sure I like Kraft-Tex, a paper product meant to wear like leather. At this point I think I'd rather work with more cork. The beauty of both products that is the edges can remain unfinished.
The last item on my checklist was to reorganize the studio and put things away so that I can devote July to Sew Powerful purses, the menstrual hygiene education program in Zambia. I'm pleased - and luckily this horribly hot weather has helped - to say that I've gotten started. My goal is to do 20 purses in July. So far it's just Jury Duty and a couple of doctor appointments on the schedule. The picture above shows all the parts necessary for just 2 purses - this pattern isn't an easy one. But this project is so worthwhile. Below are 7 purses already finished and just waiting to be mailed. Look out, July!
