It has been fun to examine my own process with sewing these totes. Some bags fly off the machine- literally creating themselves as fast as I can think up an image, word, and find the right fabric. Others take there time- maybe I'll draft the image over the course of a day, come back to draw it on the fabric a few nights later, open up the sewing machine a week later to stitch the images, so on and so forth.
Choosing the words is a whole other endeavor entirely. Sometimes the word will be right there, I know exactly which one I'll choose and it's stamped on without another thought. This flower bag actually turned out to be one of the more challenging. Grow, pause, patience, open, fragile, beautiful, and fleeting all came to mind when I saw my image stitched out. Perhaps I'll have to just make one of each....
