Professional Tote
 
This is my third professional tote bag. This particular one is made from fabric from France given to me by my bosses wife, leather handles, and lime green leather saddle side pockets and bottom. I made one similar for myself and with the left over fabric I made on for his wife.
I am unable t upload my pics, not sure why but will play around with it for a bit. Any help would be appreciated.

Love the leather handles. It the bag your own pattern! I would love to make one. Is leather handles hard to sew through? I bet you have to have a special need?

I used a leather needle, and a nylon thread for sewing leather

Great job! Boss's DW will love it!!

Great colors and extra touches with the leather. I've made 4 and each one gets easier. If you make another one, try Soft and Stable for the interfacing. It made a far superior looking bag than the ones with the batting the pattern calls for.

VERY well done! I love the pockets!

blahel 10-17-2012 03:49 PM

malega 10-17-2012 05:05 PM

That is very beautiful.

angiecub 10-17-2012 06:27 PM

Beautiful work, and I love the bag! Can you share the pattern name and tell me what you use to make it stand up so well?

debcavan 10-17-2012 06:30 PM

It is beautiful and looks so professional

Dolphyngyrl 10-17-2012 06:47 PM

I think the title is the pattern name

rushdoggie 10-17-2012 06:56 PM

wow, love this!

sewlo 10-18-2012 11:56 AM

The pattern is Professional Tote, and I used Pellon Decobond. I did not like the Pellon Decobond, the iron adhesive did not stick very well on any of the totes I have made, I have actualyy wanted to e-mail Pellon out of frustration, my next one I will try the Soft and Stable as pattypurple recommended. Thanks for looking.

Grandma Peg 10-18-2012 11:58 AM

Very nice tote, you did a great job.

GreatStarter 10-18-2012 06:08 PM

Very pretty! Love the use of leather handles, bottom and pockets.

Thanks for the tip.
It not only looks superior, it looks a lot more substantial and hardy - I'm very rough on bags.

I did find the pattern here:

I love it, love it, love it. I was planning to purchase the pattern but now I am definitely purchasing it today.

Sewlmatesister 10-19-2012 06:57 AM

LOve the idea of the leather with the professional tote...will keep that bottom a lot cleaner!

cdr1182 10-19-2012 07:13 AM

Love it. Great bag-great colors. Is it your own pattern?

fmhall2 10-19-2012 07:29 AM

There is a pattern called "Professional Bag" I think that is the name of it. It is in Keepsake Quilting catalog, and I think Clotilde catalog.

carolynjo 10-19-2012 08:13 AM

Just a great job! I love everythinh about it--color, leather straps, and the professional look it has.

wordpaintervs 10-19-2012 10:52 AM

very awesome. Not sure I could succeed at such a bag as this. Congrats on a well done job.
