My stepmom is impossible to get Christmas presents for. She has just about everything, and I never know what she wants. All I really know is that she loves the color pink, martinis, and Corvettes. Last Christmas I etched the Corvette logo in martini glasses, so I kind of used up all of my options for this year and just decided to go with a pink theme.

It was kind of a trial and error process through the whole thing. I was up until 4am sewing the tote. I'm really really proud of how it came out. I only started sewing ~for real~ (besides messing around with my machine in high school) no more than 2 months ago, and so far this is the best sewn thing I think I've done. There are no raw edges anywhere, everything is nice and tucked in, the stitches are straight and I put like a million yards of interfacing to make everything nice and sturdy.
The wallet could have turned out a little better, but it was kind of thrown together and looks alright. I also included a polka dot mini-wallet for gift cards, that way her regular wallet doesn't get too full, along with a pink scarf that I knitted a long time ago.
