A while ago I picked up the Social Tote pattern by Carolyn Friedlander and Anna Graham of Noodlehead. I had visions of a little tote sitting next to my sewing machine filled with my sewing doohickeys.
But it wasn’t until Selfish Sewing week this past week that I decided to give it a try. Selfish Sewing week is a week dedicated to sewing something for yourself. What better time to make my visions of having a Social Tote come true?
I decided to make the tote using one of my favorite Cotton and Steel prints from the Mochi collection by Rashida Coleman-Hale. For the lining and trim fabrics, I’m using solids in purple and turquoise.
I’m about halfway through the tote. I made it through the hardest part, putting together the inside, thanks to the great photos on Carolyn’s website.
Now to put it all together. Wish me luck and some free time!
What about you? Did you do some selfish stitching this week?

Looks like a fun project, and the fabrics and pattern are great. It will be fabulous!
That is a great bag and I know you will be delighted to have it sitting by your side. I like its shape a lot.

You deserve that! So pretty.
I made a cover for one of my machines…. and made a cute case for my iPhone. Both I just made up a pattern as I went along.
Your choice of fabric is so perfect for your Social Tote, Nicole.
It's a great project and I bet this won't be the only one you sew up!
My Selfish Stitching is knitting yet another pair of sox – – – for ME!!!
Have a wonderful week.
hugs 'n smiles,

This looks great, Nicole! I need to just dive into the world of interfacing and put together one for my space too. Good luck with the free time!
This is looking great Nicole. Love your fabric choices and I'm sure you'll get it together.
This is as cute as a bug! I love it!
