I know many of us have been bitten by the bag bug. How many are now using them? I know I have. I'm currently using the Margo by Lazy girl designs.
I'd love to make the birdie sling bag by Amy Butler. I purchased the fabrics for it already. All I need is time. Of course, I also have purchased most of the tote kits from Connecting Threads, too. I have a lot of totes to make. This bag bug is sooooo dangerous! |
I have a pattern for a tote kitted up and waiting for me to do after I have finished the top I am making. I am really looking forward to doing it and using it!
Hugs Caroline |
So far I have resisted buying purse, bag and tote patterns. I have plenty of quilts I want to do first. Howerver, with the variety of patterns out now, it's getting harder not to give in! LOL

I don't have any of the tote, bag or purse patterns, but did have a board member, klnsmith make me a Bow Tucks purse that I dearly love & USE everyday!!! She does excellent work and I highly recommend having her make you one if you don't want to attempt to do one yourself.

I made the Rumbleford bag for Christmas gifts this past year I LOVE mine and use it all the time. I will probably make another one for myself it's great for taking to quilt classes or to go fabric shopping with not to mention for a weekend getaway

i got the pattern for the charm tote and used smaller blocks,made a black and white purse, i use it a lot, get lots of compliments on it. Made a matching tote bag too.

I like the little shoulder bags that are just big enough for 2 or 3 cards, money, cell phone, keys. Nancy Zieman's show that is on here in Oklahoma last week was on serging some small shoulder bags. I have already may 5 of them for myself and my 2 daughters. Love them.

I've made the Professional Tote by Creative Thimble, the "As You Like It" purse by the same, and the Quilter's wallet.

I have a lot of totes to make. It sure is....I have several patterns, but have made only about 3 of them. The Bow Tuck being the favorite. I also have just been making some up as I go and that is fun too. This bag bug is sooooo dangerous! |
I love making bags and totes. I plan on making a bag for each one of my 4 sisters, I know they will appreciate them.

I have used patterns by WhistlePig Creek, Six Pack Stack (tote bag) and Charming Bags book (purses) The tote bag is great, with pockets inside and out and goes together fast for a quick gift. I made two of the purses, one using charm squares and the other using two fat quarters. The smaller one is pretty small, you can just fit the essentials in. The larger one is great and I use it every day.

I made a six pocket tote bag from Fons and Porter, using double sided quilt fabric. I use it all the time! I just bought the mini Bow Tucks pattern and can't wait to get started on that. I looked at all of this Bow Tucks folks on this QB have made, and they're very inspiring.
I have to admit, I love bag, purse and tote patterns :-) |
pictures of any of them?
I use mine all the time, have 2 or 3 different pattens and have started making up my own again. |
I have made a tote bag for my DD and a bow tucks for me. I love my bag.

Here's a pix of Margo purse that I've made recently. I'd love to see pictures of what others are using now.

Thanks sew_lulu.
|
I have made many bags and have plans for more. So many of the present bag patterns call for eyelets on the side of the bag to insert the handles. I have bought the eyelets and the tool to insert them, but have been unable to properly insert them. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Links to tutorials are also welcome.

very pretty! love them all :-)
