I've been enjoying the photos of everyone's tote bags and decided to try my hand at it. Thanks for the inspiration! I chose an easy project beacuse I had no idea what I was doing. :mrgreen: This will be a great bag for small projects. Can anyone guess what fabric line this is?

Very cute!! Is it Bound to the Prairie? I havent looked at that line lately cant remember for sure what it looks like.

Love the fabrics. It came out great!

Thanks, Melissa. I used different Thimbleberries, one of my favorite lines.

I love the long handles and the colors!!! Where did you find the pattern?

Hugs!

Oh i love it!!! I am sooo just about ready to make one too lol, just cant decide, long handles or short lol, im just sure if i make one i wont be able to stop lol. Very nice! :)

Great tote! Love the quilting on it!

Great colors! Thimbleberries came to mind first when I saw the brown on the sides--but I didn't think the other pieces were-- I love that main brown.

Totes are certainly the craze now--and I can see why!! I bet teachers would love these.

You did a wonderful job....I would for sure use it!! I also love Thimbleberries fabric!! Keep up the great work!!

It is really cute, love the colors. How long did it take you to make it? do you have a pattern that you can share? I would love to make a few of those.

Great job :thumbup:

Love your tote! I need to find time to make one!! Thanks for the inspiration!

Thanks, Kelly. The pattern is by Tammy Tadd and is called "What a Novel Idea". Here is a link: http://tammytadddesigns.com/shopping...php?id=94&=SID

She has alot of great bag patterns.

Thanks everyone! The pattern is by Tammy Tadd and it was super easy to make. It only took me about 2 hours to make it. It is meant to be a book tote so it is extra sturdy. Here is the link to the pattern:

Very nice tote. Can't wait for all my company to leave so I can start sewing in earnest again.

Very nice! I love totes.

Really cute tote-great fabric choices. I am going to have to break down and make one some day-you are all such an inspiration

Beautiful tote!!! You did a fantastic job!! I can see why you love the fabric line so much! Very pretty stuff!!! Thanks tons for the link too!!

Marked the link, my daughter (who's going to be a teacher) hasn't seen my finished tote yet but I bet she'll want one, for all her books and stuff.

You did a really nice job on it too.
