February Birthdays!

Five of my dearest and best are Aquarians (spell check does not like that word, but I am OK with it.) February birthdays keep me hopping. I think I will be safe to share this picture, because I don't think she has time to look at my blog before the party next week. The others' gifts will have to be shown later.

This dear friend is a nurse, as you might guess. This is actually the second bag for her. Two or three years ago I made her the first one. She over packs it with note books and who knows what! I cannot believe it has not ripped or anything. Hopefully, I get a few accessories made to go with it. That is my goal this week.

The pattern is The Newport Tote by Lazy Girl. A friend in a sewing group made one a few years back. That was my inspiration. Not difficult and evidently very sturdy. I did add an attached key fob in the inside pocket.
