I timed the making of the bag because I'm going to do a program at guild for it. From cutting to finishing it took me 2 1/2" hours. The first bag took me about 5 hours because I kept having to rip out the casings to find my elastic end. I'm not good at reading how to do something, I need to see it. Both my DDs have requested a bag for themselves to tote their swimming stuff this summer.

Bella, about 3 years ago I took a class to make this bag, it was a 3 hr. class and we did complete our bags. We did have all the pieces ready to go when we arrive. It was a fun bag. Nice big bag :)

Wonderful job! I made one of those years ago, it's great for putting all the pieces of big projects into. Only grandkids toys like to use it too.

that is so pretty. I love that style of bag. :)

WOW, that is big. Love it.

Looks great..

Thanks, I just printed the directions. I see Christmas presents in my future! and in the future of my quilting daughter and then sleep-over bags for two granddaughters. Thanks for the post.

Bella ~ would this bag work for a casserole carrier? I'm thinking like 9x13 cake pan size? Would you be able to get the pan in and out easily? Then also be able to use it for other things.

both are lovely. Am partial to the yellow...not too bright...just right

I love that bag, I've made three as gifts and one for myself. Yours is great, you will enjoy it very much.
