A market tote: blue stripe ticking: in the works

I wanted to make an everyday market tote:  a little larger than the ones of my past -

Simply done - added to the length and width of my existing pattern....thinking I had plenty of fabric for the tote.....wrong!

Oops!  Okay...let's move on to alternate plan B.  I did find this blue, about the same weight as the ticking fabric.  This will do nicely (she says) for the gusset/straps

almost finished - just the top stitching left....then I'll add a button closure.   Yes, I'm a pinner!

 

all done and posted in my shop: For Sale 

The girl can't help it.....she's happy!
