That is soooo neat!

It's a beauty.
I see the challenge in it.
You did a great job...

Very pretty! Looks complicated to put together. Looks like you did a perfect job!

Mine is finally finished, not without it's warts. I changed out the pockets as I wanted zippers & put in some magnetic snap closures on the top. Also added loops for the handles to try & make them a little sturdier. I may hand stitch the liner to the base still, as I don't like the idea of things being able to fall out through the woven strips if they happen to slide under the liner.

You ladies have made awesome bags and both of you chose great colors. Love making bags and this one does seem more challenging that I have done, but it is OH soooo worth the work~!! Great jobs ladies.

Very pretty and the colors are wonderful.

Amazing and gorgeous!

Really pretty...

OMG! Really nice bag and quite an effort required.

Thank you for your comments. Thanks, also, to Cathou for the link over here.
This tote "is" challenging, but also rewarding. Try it out and post your pictures. I'd love to see the colors you pick.

I used a small plastic trash can to put mine on to weave it. It worked great. I love my bag as does everyone else. The braided straps seem to stay on my shoulder better than the flat ones too. Love the pink. You did a great job!

WOW that is amazing, great job and thank you for sharing
Have a Blessed day

I found the Diamond Island Tote Pattern by AuntiesTwo on Amazon for $9.95. It's in my 'wish list'.

Very Pretty. You did a great job on this. Maybe someday I will be able to do something this pretty. BrendaK
