I got this idea for a Seahawks tote as I was getting ready for bed last night, so pulled what fabrics I have in these colors and laid them out for this morning. And no, this is no on my list of things to do, it just seemed like a great idea. Tonight, I am back to drawing diagonal lines on the little squares. (In case you’re interested, this is the road to unfinished projects.)
It was such a beautiful day, I decided first to clean a stall. Well, the sheep wanted to stand exactly where I wanted to clean so after 3 wheelbarrows, I called it quits for today. Maybe tomorrow. Or maybe just a bit each day. It is difficult to move anything when a sheep is standing on it.
I went back to the house and sewed the tote. I used a pattern for the size to cut, however, did construct it a bit differently. It finished at 5.5″ deep, 16.5 x 18.5″ for the front. It has two outside pockets on the first photo and 3 on the second. This seems so big to me. What do you think? I hope the recipient is okay with big enough to put the stadium blanket and other items in here.

I think it is perfect for the use and items you mentioned. You did a really nice and quick job. I saw that video the other day and “almost” stopped what I was doing and looked for some fabric to make me one. But I was strong and resisted the temptation to start something new.
Nice idea for the tote. I had to laugh, when I saw the partial photo of the hay, I thought it was some crazy kind of yarn! LOL
