everyone is right who says that they get easier... i didn't even use the directions on this one..... however it still takes me 5 hours to do one from start to finish....but i have fun every step of the way....especially when it is time to pull the lining thru the hole !!!

so beautiful!!!!!

What wonderful fabrics. That one is so pretty. Thanks for sharing.

love the fabrics. very cute. I have #2 under construction

Nice bag. The lining fabric looks shiny/glossy? What is it?

Very nice Colleen! I even have some of that purple paisley in my stash. :D

my daughter in law has some japanese in her.. she loves the oriental prints.. this is a satiny material in the lining that she admires everytime she is here.. i think she will pee her pants when she sees it today !!! lol

Very Nice!! I can't wait to get my pattern to start mine!! Hopefully today..already bought all the necessities of course..lol

Making them is certainly addictive!! I love the fabrics you used! Sweet! :D :thumbup:

Gorgeous fabrics & colors!!!! I love looking at everyone's pics of their totes!!

Great job Colleen, very pretty bag. My favorite part is making the handle. :)

I LOVE THE INSIDE COLORS GREAT BAG :)
I AM ON # 2 THEY ARE ADDICTING !

ty everyone for your kind words...

Ohhhhhh purple paisley - gotta be my favorite fabric. Love this tote!

ty cindyg... i will trade it for your avatar quilt !!!! lol

Love the Bag You do fabulous work.

Love the colors. I love when I pull the bags thru the bottom liner. I call it birthing a new bag. LOL I have the lge pattern but would like the smaller one. I might just cut the lge pattern a half inch on all pieces. what do you think?

i have the large and would like the smaller.. i think i read measurements on small/ lg... i believe there was a 2 inch difference... i was gonna play with some not so pretty fabric and see what i get...

i know what you mean about "birthing" i hold my breathe and say... "hey baby" !! lol

Very pretty.
