This one was shorter by an inch on the bottom but was longer by one extra charm. The fabric for the handles was left over binding fabric. I think I like the original size better. Or maybe I would have liked this one better if my bottom piece had been the original 7" size and not 6", but it was a scrap piece that was already cut to 6".

I too would like to make a tote but feel like it is too difficult for me! Somehow I can't get my brain around it. Am going to bite the bullet and do one of Jenny's on MSQ. Thanks for sharing.

Your bag is so so nice. I love making bags. I guess I like having one I made, and no one has one just like it.

Great work! And now, don't you feel proud? And happy!? Glad to hear you have plans to make a couple more. You'll find the next ones go together more quickly and easily since you know the steps & have made some mental adjustments to speed things along. Very cute fabric choices, too! Congrats!!
