Default Totes

I am currently obsessed with totes!! I made my first one 2 weeks ago. I made 2 more this past weekend. Third one is the charm - that one I am currently using!

The first one I like (made with charm squares), but while I did use batting in it, it is floppy. I didn't add interfacing to the pockets I added to the inside, and I placed the pockets a little too high. I used leftover 100% cotton batting. I won't be using this one as my purse.

The second one has 6 pockets formed around the outside. It had a few problems, I am not wild over the colors, and it is a little bit too small for me. But I did use fusible batting in it, which I really like.

The third one - I really like this one!! Straps are a little long, but using fusible batting for the purse and Pellon 808 inside the pockets - works wonderfully.
