Just finished this one. My daughter picked out the fabric. She was in bed before I finished it (school tomorrow)

My favorite part is the button, I MADE IT! I have never done that before. It was sooooo cooll!!!

I hope she shows it to her friends and they want me to make more.
They are so fun!

That is the coolest bag ever! I would love to take my school books to class in that - I am sure I would get tons of people asking where I got it.

DebraK 03-07-2010 11:52 PM

Hot cha cha! love it!

AnnaK 03-08-2010 12:08 AM

Wow, how did you make the EYE button? And love the cool 'muertos' fabric.

dkabasketlady 03-08-2010 12:10 AM

That's an amazing bag and the fabric is WILD!! Love the button too! Do you have a pattern for it, or did you just make this on your own? I'd love to make one also.

What is this skull stuff? I have a friend who went to a bazzar
and a lady had made back packs out of pink with skulls and she said people was grabbing and almost fighting to get to them. Sh said she must of had a few dozen and sold out before the half day was gone... What is the fad all about? Am I just to old and out of contact? Oh Yes the tote is very nice - the skulld LOL

Awesome! I really need to get that bow tucks pattern. Every bag I see made out of it comes out just perfect.
Love the fabric too :)

The skull *fad* is a big one - as well as robots, octopi, squid - but skulls have been a huge hit for as long as I can remember... okay, yes, I was a punk growing up and still am underneath this suburban house frau costume lol

LOVE IT! Oh, it makes me want to go find my cat's eye choker... I miss being a punky teenager! Nice job Mom!!

amy WI 03-08-2010 10:31 AM

That is awesome! I just bought the pattern last night. I can't wait to start it.

knlsmith 03-08-2010 11:55 AM

THE BUTTON:

Look in the button and/or sewing notions area. It is a little kit for about $6 you can make 3 or 4 buttons (depends on size). Super easy comes with little template to cut fabric to right size and little tool things to put it all together.

Thanks for all the comments. It is a really fun fabric. My daughter loved the fabric. left it hanging on her bedroom door, was asleep when she went to school.

Cant wait for her to get home to see what she says!

*QuilterWannabee* 03-08-2010 12:14 PM

Way cool Mom. Sure to be a hit with the friends.

kat112000 03-08-2010 12:29 PM

That is way cool!! Love the fabrics. My daugter would love to have one of those!

Quilter2B 03-08-2010 12:42 PM

I haven't read the whole thread yet so someone else may have already included this info (if so, I apologize): I'm sure it has something to do with Ed Hardy, who ever he is, skater dude or punk rocker, I don't know. My kids (in their mid-twentys) are all into this stuff - I frankly don't care for it but is if sells who are we to argue?

nativetexan 03-08-2010 12:56 PM

oh my word. that is one of a kind. i bet she loves it.

BKinCO 03-08-2010 12:56 PM

Love it!!! Waiting impatiently here for my pattern to arrive so I can make one too!

kdid82 03-08-2010 12:57 PM

marsye 03-08-2010 12:58 PM

OMG!!! Trick or treat!! Love it!

charismah 03-08-2010 01:00 PM

I Just bought my first bow tucks bag pattern as well....couldn't beat the price on connecting threads!

littlehud 03-08-2010 01:03 PM

What a cool (and unusual) tote. I love the button. My DGD would love it.

pittsburgpam 03-08-2010 01:24 PM

That is so cool!! Wonderful and fun.

Chele 03-08-2010 01:32 PM

What a great bag! The button is very neat!

shopbelt 03-08-2010 01:35 PM

Don't you just love having all those pockets! My daughter would love your design.

knlsmith 03-08-2010 02:02 PM

Just a note, I do not like the size of the bag as the pattern states, so I make it smaller. ends up aprrox 13 by 11 on the front and 5 inches deep (didnt change that I like that part)

stitchinwitch 03-08-2010 02:04 PM

EXCELLENT!!

DeniseB 03-08-2010 03:30 PM
