Handmade by Hilani: Ruffled tote

Welcome everyone, and thanks for stopping by!

If you're a lover of fabric or crafting, you might be able to relate to my story. I often purchase fabric without a preconceived idea on what I plan to make. I so enjoyed making my Yellow Summer Purse, that I found myself on a Yellow fabric kick; I have two more stashes of yellow but don't know yet what to create with them.

This project below, I threw in a little grey...because these

two colors together are very eye catching.

This project came to me, one night in my sleep (that happens often). I'm like Seinfeld, I have a note pad next to the bed, and write down unexpected thoughts. It's an occupational hazard; constantly thinking of new products to create. One of the things I enjoy about what I do.

Here is a picture of my latest creation. The ruffled detailing is only on the front side, and since I'm a huge fan of buttons, lately I've found myself trying to use them on every project. I added one to another project I'll be sharing in the coming weeks; green chevron and hot pink.
