Linda's bag is such a special story. The process started over 16 months ago when her friend purchased a gift certificate to give to Linda for her birthday. At that time, Linda could only find half of the bibs she needed for her Tote Bag. She knew she had another bunch of favorite bibs somewhere in her house, but searched and searched to no avail. So, partially designed, we put her Tote Bag on hold until she finished some more races. With each race Linda completed, she put the bib aside, collecting them until she had enough - while still searching her house for those lost ones. Upon completion of her last race, we started the design process and had a layout. Her Tote Bag was ready to be sewn together. However, Linda was still certain that her lost bibs were somewhere in her house, so we put her Tote Bag on hold once again so she could take another look. Low and behold, after tearing apart her laundry room, her spare room and her bedroom, she found them! They had fallen down behind and under a drawer in her nightstand. Hooray! Now with a little redesigning, not only is Linda's Tote Bag complete, but her house is cleaned out too! Win. Win.
