@zozee, this is what I thought after I posted. I've never seen her use fabric anything and truthfully, I'm not a fan either. She is a beach lover, lives about 20 mins away from it, so I was thinking of a beach tote but you can also buy such clever ones that I would never be able to replicate. I may go with the beach theme instead of handmade.
It also has made me question whether or not I really like to sew, or if I'm just doing it to do something. I like to create but maybe it's time to try a new craft. Funny how something comes into your head when you didn't even know you wanted to think about it.
