The ones I am selling to my friends for their resort are smaller totes, but still use about 1 1/2 yards plus the extras. So, yes, even though I have bought the fabric on sale, it is still around $5.00-6.00/yard minimum. That one that took nearly 4 yards was a giant week-ender bag, which I really don't want to make again!! Well, maybe for a price----LOL
