Replacement Professional Tote
 

I just gave this professional tote to my GF for her birthday. She requested it special as she's literally worn out the one that I made for her several years ago. As I've made several, I've made some modifications to the directions and as a result I'm doing these a little bit differently now. On the main body parts of the bag I use the decor bond interfacing like the pattern calls for but I also apply fusible fleece to give the bag extra body. I also changed the two outer pockets on the ends of the bag that originally called for drawstring ties and I just switched them out to elastic. She said she never used the drawstring pockets at any different sizes so she just would rather have elastic. She really liked the improvements over her first bag.

What a pretty bright fabric you used.

nicely done

Love the fabrics! Very nice tote & gift.

Wonderful. What were the directions you used?. Love the fabric. BrendaK

It looks a good size tote.

Lovely tote! You did a wonderful job! I have the pattern, but have yet to tackle it . . . someday I hope to make one!

Love the fabric. I've started making them with Soft & Stable on the outer pieces instead of the decor bond and fleece. Makes them stand up nice.
A nice compliment to you that your friend wore out the other one. You are a true friend to make this.

very nice. Love the colors.
