Market Bag While Ruby Naps

These two girlies have be pretty tuckered out, during nap time today I had a but of a lie-in as well, waking up an hour after I laid down realizing I had spent my relaxing /cleaning time unconscious.  As much as I love those girls everyone needs to unwind, so instead of watching the hobbit with hubby and his friends I decided to grow my collection of market totes (the plastic bags from the store drive me bonkers so I am trying to free our family from the insidious rustling) using some lightweight canvass from my stash.
  It was a great opportunity to practice my french seams, a skill recently acquired through shameless pintrest surfing.  If you have never done them, here is a great tutorial ( I didn't bother the last step she mentions because my project was a bag and not a garment but I am going to keep it in mind for the garden party dress I am working on).  Since I do not foresee a time when my fairy-godmother drops a brand new serger in my lap or on my sewing table rather I have a feeling I will become much more proficient at french seams as time goes by.
     For the moment I am thrilled with my bag, it looks neat and clean from every angle and it gave me a chance to fall back in love with these two adorable prints.

I cant't wait to try this out!
