Lynda's Spotty Tote

A few weeks ago Lynda left a note saying it was her birthday soon. Unbeknown to her, we had already started planning a birthday surprise. I, however, had yet to pick a birthday pressie. Not long after, I made a start. The Spotty Tote was replicated.

And a new one designed. Let’s call it Lynda’s Spotty Tote. A blue front with a spotty lined pocket – kind of like Lynda (cool and calm on the outside and colourful and cheering underneath).

And spotty backing.

PS The photos were taken in a rush, seconds before the totes were wrapped, hence the poor quality of the blue one. It was in fact ironed – I promise!

There’s something in the pipeline. It’s taking time, but soon, very soon, it will be here.
