Tote with cats in PJ’s
5 Attachment(s)
Hi all, I went with the majority and made a tote, with cats on both sides. Grandson’s wife said make cats different colors and PJ’s too. I quilted by stitching in the ditch around the cat and his clothing. I then quilted a tiny stipple on all the background. I decided to put a welt zipper pocket for her wallet on the inside lining to keep safe from falling out and a deep divided pocket with contrast piping trim on the other lining side. I used a double layer of the flat batting on the outer bag pieces and iron on Pellon 809 for lining and pockets. I really meant to put a strap with a ring so she could hook keys and I forgot. I guess when you don’t go by a guide sheet or pattern you have to depend on your mind. I tend to forget more and more. Anyway, the finish size has a bottom of 5 inch wide, stands 18 inches high and the width finished at 23.5. According to my husband another too big bag. However I told him if I made the bag height lower, the cats feet and legs would be under the bottom. I tried to add enough background for everything to look in proportion. I would have liked to have made a smaller tote but she can fill it and he can carry it-lol …. That may be why MY husband says my last bags are too big-lol lol
