As I wrote before that since our Birthdays are in the same month, and hers is on the 15th and mine is on the 14th, we talked and decided to do Birthday pressie exchange this year!
As it's quite tough to choose the design and moreover how to finish off (on the other hand it's fun, though!), we decided to pick which of our finishes we want to receive from the other.
Then, she asked me this tote bag for her Birthday!
As I'm not good with a sewing machine at all, I was very worried when I heard that she wants this tote bag from me, lol
And as I worried, I had a hard time to finish this off, lol
I stitched her initial "J", and patched blue base fabrics and made it into a tote bag.
The size of this bag is just A4.
I also added crochet flower and lace tag at the side.

I also have this bag in pink version here, and it's very useful to put stitch stuffs in and take it out to outside!
Anyway, it's a pity this Birthday present didn't reach her in time...
But I'm so glad that Joei loves this bag!
I hope she had a wonderful Birthday!

Yuko, what a lovely birthday gift you have made for Joei. Your bags are beautiful and useful too. The trimming is especially pretty. I love the little crochet flower. It gives the bag a shabby chic look :>) Your pink bag is beautiful too. It is nice to personalize them with these pretty initials.
Happy belated birthday wishes. September 14th is a very special day. It is the day of the Holy Cross and Rula (Stavroulla) celebrates her nameday on this day :>)
Warm hugs as always Angela
