Favorite Tote Pattern
#1
Just wondering if any of you have a favorite tote pattern. I recently finished a couple that had the insert that goes in the bottom. They turned out great but I'm not crazy about the "floor board" effect if you know what I mean.

You don't need to put the bottom in if you don't like it. You could leave it out entirely, or use a stiff interfacing like timtex, peltex or stiffy from Long Creek Mills. these will give support, but won't be stiff.
here are my favorite sites for free bag patterns. Maybe you can find something here

If you want a really nice BIG tote, the Schlep Bag can't be beat!! It's very large capacity...you can put a whole quilt in it to take along, or it's wonderful for traveling...you can stuff huge amounts of stuff in it!! And it's super easy to make.

I don't have the name of the pattern, but I'm the lone dumbass that signed up for Annie's Attic fat quarter club and the first shipment included a "free" pattern for a tote. So far, I've made 5...When I get home, I'll look up the name and update...
