Oh WOW GREAT BAG! I too LOVE V.B. but not the prices!!!!
This is a great alternative! tHANKS for sharing.!!!!

Very nice Love the colors.

I agree her prices are outragous! I brought mine on sale for 50% off.

Love your bag and the Reproduction fabrics used.

Nice tote! Can I ask what you used for the bottom of it to give it some sturdiness?

I used foam board. I have also used the plastic canvas but I think this is a bit firmer.

I bought us each totes last year that were on sale for $19.99. That I don't mind paying. Don't like paying alot for a fabric purse because they don't last long enough.

I agree. I do my own designs for quilting the bags I make and that makes them more unique. The V.B. bags i brought were just the diamond quilting, very plain.

I like the idea of the foam board. I have been looking for an alternative to the plastic canvas because they don't sell that here. I was playing with the idea of the foam board and not that you said you use it I will try that.

Very nice!!
