I love it! I like making bags too. Did you satin stitch the octopus or is it straight line stitching? I would love a copy of the octopus, I'm sure I could make the tote. Anyway, you did a fabulous job!

Thanks everyone! Toogie it is straight line stitch a few times round to give it a sketchy/doodle look. I have sent you a PM as well

Well to me you did a wonderful job. I have made some bags but not with the snap you used. Are they hard to put in? Did you have to use a different needle because of the thickness of the fabric? Love everything about this bag. BrendaK

Great job on the bag. Looks like it's ready for a day at the beach with you. The octopus really adds the finishing touch .

Great tote! love your octopus - did you have a pattern for it or do it free hand?

Wow! That is so cute. I just showed it to Jim and he likes it too.

What a gorgeous bag, I love it :)

Very cool! It will be so much fun to use.

Great colors. Beautiful bag. Design is perfect for a beach bag.

Love the bag!
