Tote bag

It is made of upholstery fabric, which I bought at a very

low price, you know me by now.... I woudn't spend much,

and I found it at Tissus Mondial in France in a bargain bin.

and its little bag for cosmetics or the like - where I took the fabric

the right side outside. With the tote I found the fabric too prominent,

too eyecatching.

I think now that the tote is too small,

too small for five kg potatoes or so!

It could be larger. Next time ... next bag..... I guess no. 43.

The day will come when I am going to count them all.

Anyway with this one I won't go to the market.

Meanwhile I managed to join the last triangles and hang it

against the window, just a small top up to now. We will see

how it will go on. The seam allowances are 3 mm.

I shouldn't be so stingy with my fabrics, but it is made really

of the smallest bits of fabric out of my scrap box.

And this is Karlsruhe, straight hedge, straight path, straight alley
it is how the Margrave Karl Wilhelm wanted it 300 years ago.

The Castle of Karlsruhe is behind the row of lime trees.

The town has them trimmed every year so they stay small.

Below the trees is a large parking lot - subterranean.
