I would love to see if any of you have tried this one. Post your pictures here!!

Here's my attempt. I used flannel, and really didn't read the directions like I should have...

Your Sweet Sixteen Tote turned out just darling!! :D I am so glad you are sharing your picture with all of us. I haven't made this pattern yet, but I think I will put it on my to-do list. My grand daughters would just love it!!
:D :D :D :D

Really love that tote - thank you for the link, have saved it and it's on the "to do" list!

Your tote is so cute. I guess you like turtles. Me too. I'm going to make one of these for sure. It's just the size I like. Thanks for sharing.

That's really cute!

Sooo cute! Thanks for sharing the pattern ;-)

That is really cute! I am going to put that one in the book to do next......after I finish my other million projects!
Thanks for sharing the pattern!!!

That is sew cute!! :D The heck with just making it for teenagers -- I would like one for me!! :lol: :lol:

love that pattern, nice work

Really cute tote.

What a cute tote. Great job.

Oh, I really like this! Thanks for the link, too.
I have a friend retiring from work in June and have some fabric with her name in it (vintage looking, like from the Dick and Jane era) and have wanted to make a bag for her. Will try this one!

What a WONDERFUL tote to make for my friend !! Thanks !!

I made another one today!! Still didn't follow the directions! I made the lining out of one solid piece of fabric and lined it with interfacing. I added batting and quilting to the "main" bag this time.

maybe one of these days i'll make one and actually follow the directions

GO GIRL !!!

OH!!!!! am I jealous!!!!!!!!!....ALL that turtle fabric....(grin)

=D I have one more project to finish, then I'm going to post all of my turtle projects as one thread so I can share will all the turtle folk. So far I have 2 bags and 2 quilts - I have the top done on the first quilt I started, hoping to get that finished this month...

Your 2nd purse is just as adorable as the first! And why follow directions when you're doing so great! :lol: :lol:

Here's a third attempt!

charm squares inside and out - handles from my scrap bin...

no interfacing - it's nice and floppy - will make a nice shopping bag since I can smoosh it up and put it in my purse until I need it.

Why follow directions. Looks like your a pro without them.
Very cute. Love the fabrics. :thumbup:

Love them ,thanks for sharing this with use I'm going to have to try this on for sure :thumbup:

Great bag. I love turtles,too. I may have to use some of my turtle fabric for one of these.

Can't wait. Love turtle projects.

cute

Here's number 4!!! (i gotta stop...)

I have enough left over of the Bistro fabric to make one more... not sure if I'll use this pattern or try to find something new...

Going to try this pattern.

ohhhh, these are sooooo cut! Gotta make some of those!!

Jessica,
Those are so cute!!! . I like the looks of the bag. You did a good job on them!!!

Ditter

Oh, my favorite is #4. Don't stop! You are inspiring us!

I just love this and would like to make it, but would like to make it a row longer, any idea how to change the rows? I printed out the inst and am trying to figure it out but can't visualize how it goes together LOL.

Great job on the bags and thanks for the link.

I have a question tho...do the sides stay closed or pooch out? That is an issue for me.

Love the bags! Gonna' make one for me!

If i used stabilizer, they pretty much stand up straight. If I didn't, they flop every which way. --- You could always include a snap or closure though...

You have been busy - What great Bags!!

They're all so cute!
