Quilted Tote Bag
 

I found a free tote bag pattern at byannie.com and whipped it up a few days ago. It's a pattern called Easy Does It and it was pretty easy to sew. All it takes is 3 fat quarters plus some interfacing. I use it to carry my sewing supplies with my travel sewing machine.

That's so cute!

Cute and thanks for posting the pattern info.
 

Great pattern for fat quarters! I love the pattern name...Easy does it! Do you have any tips for making this tote? I would love to try to make it! :)

Great job on the bag!

I love that pattern. Those bags are fun to make and the size works for so many things. It's a great way to learn the techniques for other patterns. Did you use batting or softnstable?

Beautiful!!

pretty fabric, nicely done

Looks great!

Of course I am already thinking about christmas gifts for this year and this just took a jump to the top of the list.

It’s so pretty! I love making bags.

I think the pattern is so well written there isn't anything aside from it that I'd recommend. I did use 505 temporary spray adhesive to hold the 3 layers together when I quilted them together. I do recommend using a walking foot when sewing the 3 layers. Another great thing about this pattern is there are videos available for each step of the pattern. Annie really did make this as easy as it could possibly be.

I'm making a second tote bag now, using fat quarters that I fussy cut for the sides of the tote. I have it cut out and am putting it together later this week.

Very nice!

I really like that bag & your second one is going to be gorgeous. I've made quite a few zippered bags as Christmas gifts & everyone seems to love them. Waiting to see your finished second one!

It is too early to think about Christmas gifts, etc. I’m always looking for something interesting to make for my small applique group. I like this bag - sure could use one myself. I’ll check out the pattern. Thanks so much.

Veery nice bag! I will look up the pattern, These would make nice gifts. Your is very cute.

Thanks for the tips you shared and the sneek peek of your upcoming tote bag! I like videos for helping along with patterns as well. Please share another pic of your new tote. Happy quilting!

That's so cute! I love it.

I had so much fun making the first one I made a second one. This time I fussy cut the fabric.

Pretty and practical and thanks for the link. I see one or more in my future.

Very pretty and so useful.

Thank you for posting and also the picture! Decided that I’ll make some for Christmas! That is rally a cute bag!

Pretty bag, looks very handy, too!

Nice bag.
Thank you for suggesting the website.

Super cute. BrendaK

Very nice, I love the fabric you use, thank you for sharing the link for the pattern

I'm sorry Rhonda, I didn't see your question until now. I used sew-in Pellon Thermolam for the interfacing that I bought at JoAnns. It was half the price of the softnstable and it worked beautifully.

That is very pretty and love the fabrics. Me and zippers just do not get along.
