Blue And White Ruffled Bags

When you have 3 kids, one of which is a newborn, you don't have a whole lot of spare time to craft.  I took on this project right before Parker was born.  If I knew what I was getting myself into, I probably would have said no, but it sounded fun and I had forgotten how exhausting having a brand new baby is, so I said I'd do it.  This lady was having a blue and white retreat thingy and saw some of my ruffled tote bags available on my etsy shop.  She wanted me to make her 8 of them in blue and white fabric.  All 8 being different fabrics.  Do you know how hard it is to find 16 different blue fabrics that somewhat coordinate well with each other??? I believe I went to 3 fabric stores and I came up with these.  Where did I find the time? It's all a big blur this whole last month.  It really took me a full month to get these done.  I think I've had a total of 1 nap since Parker has been born.  When I could have been sleeping, I was knocking these out.  Was it worth it?  Mmmmm, probably not.  But, I learned a lot.  And I accomplished what I said I would do.  SO, here is how they turned out.  It's possible that she might want another 1 or 2 bags.  But, I'm not going to think about that right now.  I am definitely not a seamstress, so this was harder for me than it probably should have been.  Not to mention when you're tired you do silly things.  I never did actually sew the bag shut though...heehee.
