I made this tote from directions I downloaded from the internet and from scraps. I added the grommets and I really like how it turned out!

Very nice. My favorite color.

I like it!

Nice job. I like your addition of the grommets. Looks great. Thank you for sharing.

Can't blame you for like the way it turned out....it's really nice and looks roomy!

great job

Thank you all so much!

The bag is called a "Diana Hobo" from elizbeth carroll designs. The site is thinkliz.com/2009/02/20/diana-hobo-free-pattern.

This is the first time I used the grommets. The weren't hard, but a one did "slide" and I had to pop it off and resposition a couple of times. I wonder, if one could glue the fabric to the grommet to hold it in place while placing the other one on and pressing down. I hope they will last.

I'm sure open to comments/suggestions from experienced grommet users.

Love it!

Very cute!

:thumbup: :thumbup: i love polka dots

Many Thanks!! I've enjoyed my summer purse which is very similar to this one. However, it's now starting to look a tad out of season!! This just may be my next one.

For those who'd like a hot link to this bag ... here you are

Thanks, QuiltE, I wasn't sure how to do that, LOL! So nice we all have different talents.

Love it. I buy so many totes. Would be a good idea to make some. Thanks for sharing.

Very Pretty, and you did a great job.

Very nice!

So VERY cute!!!! Good job!

Sooo very cute! I bet you get a lot of people asking about your tote when using it.

I use my bow tucks and everytime I'm in a store someone always asks where I purchased it. It makes you feel so good!

Nice bag. The grommets are very popular now.

Did you find it worked out OK, as per the pattern instructions?

Any words of advice to those of us who might make one too?

Please? and Many Thanks!!

Cute

That is a darling purse. Nice job!

:thumbup: :thumbup:

I don't blame you for liking it, it's gorgeous. Thanks for sharing.

oooh it is so pretty i like it. very elegant looking.

Cute! Did you make the straps one long piece? I was thinking that would work, then when you put it over your arm the straps would close the bag....Hmmmm.

Beautiful. Where the gold things hard to put on?

Awesome!

I really really like that.

Great bag! Adding the grommets was great idea.

love it and thanks for sharing the link. :)
