My Boxy Tote
I finally got pics of the Boxy Tote that I made for my Featherweights. Phew! It was something else. There are a lot of layers of fabric and foam to deal with. My new Bernina 475 didn't like to at all so I fired up my Artista 180 that I bought at an estate sale and it sewed right thru all those layers like a champ. It has lots of pockets inside and out and a fair amount of padding so I'm really happy with it. I'm in the process of making a padded interior for my Tutto bag similar to the one that came with my 475 for use with this soft tote. I also made a little padded drawstring bag to put the foot pedal in so it won't scratch the machine.

The pattern is from quiltsillustrated.com and the pattern number is # ps 056
I had just looked up a similar pattern for an acquaintance at quilt retreat in Shipshewana and she wanted the tool tote pattern.

Her instructions were good though and there were diagrams and pics. If you kept all the pieces labelled it helped a lot, too.
