What an awesome family project this was :)
Yes, the whole family made one - even hubby!
This project idea came from the amazing FREE Craftsy Course: Bag-making Basics: Reversible Tote and Zipper pouch
The class was so well taught and easy to understand I thought that it would make the perfect gift for God-parents and Granny from the girls, hubby and myself.
I love the fact that these shoppers are reversible and that they fulfill a use - I love useful gifts!
I think these gifts turned out looking so good they almost look store bought and am extremely impressed with them all :)
Hubby had been wanting to try out my new machine so I thought I could get him to make my bag so he could get a feel for it.
He has never sewn before and this is his bag:

Isn't that amazing?
Kay's turned out splendidly, really beautiful :

Jas made hers yesterday as she didn't have much time to work with us over the weekend. Look at her gorgeous project:

And lastly, I made a bag for my Mom-In-Law. This is how mine turned out:

With the sewing I also managed to finish up hubby's Tardis Socks - At last!
This is how the finished pair looks:
What did you manage to finish this week?
I wish you all a great weekend.
