Make Three Totes/Purses from One Charm Pack is the YouTube video by Jenny Doan that I have used for making about 40 tote bags for family members over the past year. The totes are very easy to make and look great. You can find the printed instructions in Quilting Quickly, Spring 2013 pp. 55-57. I use Soft and Stable for the batting as it makes the bag stand up easily and it is a dream to quilt. Instead of batting, I use iron-on heavy interfacing for the handles. I add pockets to the lining and use a 2" strip of Velcro as a fastener. Many people have asked me to make them to sell; but for me, that would take away the fun of making them.
