Nette from nettevivante guest blogs over at Vivat Veritas with a free pattern to make her Eva tote bag. This round-bottomed one-handled tote can look so different depending on fabric choice.

Did I ever tell you that one of my ancestors (Simon de Montfort) helped found Parliament? Aside from our coat of arms, we have reaped no benefit from this fact, financial or otherwise. “Otherwise” meaning an invitation to the Royal Wedding.
