Social Tote in Friedlander Fabric.

Remember the social tote? It’s a fun, travel-friendly project that Anna Graham of Noodlehead collaborated with me to create. Anna is so talented and did such a wonderful job with this project that I’m always happy to come back to it. Here’s a Social Tote in Friedlander Fabric that I made recently.

The lining is a great place to play with one of the larger prints in the collection, which I did here. I like playing with the prints and colors in a project like this that can really show them off.

The pincushion fits perfectly into one of the compartments, looking cute in there, or it can float away and be useful on its own too.

On the flip side of the pincushion, I even added a little bit of Euclid with some decorative stitching. I always like special touches like that. They don’t take much time, but they can really personalize a project.

    I love the social tote in these colors!
    Please is the exterior fabric Friedlander Tangerine 16605-147 or Friedlander Lawn Tangerine 16611-147??
    (I think I identified the others as 16609-294 and16610-68 if that’s right.)
    I have the pattern already, now these are the colors I would like to make it with! 🙂
    Thank you very much!
    Best wishes!

    The tote looks great, Carolyn!! I’m happy to say that my bundle is on its way to me in the Netherlands and this tote may very well be a worthy destination for some of the fabrics. With a pincushion of course! Yours is absolutely adorable!!
