Red and Turquoise Rock!

tote bag in progress

Diana Acevedo:

The image on these oilcloths are big, bright and busy. Oilcloth is like vinyl, but slick on only one side. It’s not hard to sew; I used a few pins in the seam allowances and helped feed the piece under the presser foot. A walking foot would have accomplished this better, but I was too lazy to attach it. I love the challenge of combining disparate fabrics! The areas of solid turquoise exert some control over the visual chaos, as does the strip of solid red. This strip is wide twill tape, folded over the edge of the strawberry piece. I should have a finished bag “soon.”
