Beautiful bag and nice gift!

I think it is outstanding. I would be delighted if someone made one for me.

What a beautiful bag! Very different and I love the fabrics you used.

Interesting concept

Nice bag!:thumbup:

very nice!!!

Thank you.
What I'm most proud of is that the top of the straps are seamless that is why I cut the sections.
Here is back view and
included pocket slots (pic is before assembling the bag)so it is a practical throw all bag.

Love the color combination. Looks like a handy bag to have!

excellent work

Interesting bag.

I like it. I love the hook for keys

I'm wondering how you made the key hook. It looks so scrunchy. Would you tell us how you do that, please?

Sure. Hope this explanation works. I cut 2 strips of fabric.
1) 1" W x approx. 12" long strip (or length desired) use as is for base.
2) 1.5" W x approx 20" long then sew lengthwise right sides together, turn it inside out and u have a sleeve for the base strip. I used a safety pin at one end of the base strip to slide it through the long sleeve. Sew bottom of base strip together w bottom end of sleeve at side of inside tote bag pocket then gather the extra lenght of sleeve and sew the top of the 1" W base strip to the top of the sleeve resulting in the gathered scrunchy look then attach the clasp.

I use this technique sometimes for bag handles too. Tomorrow ill post a pic.

Love,love, love this bag!
