Tote!

I just finished this. It's larger than what I thought it was going to be. I wanted to attach a closure to it, but I haven't done that before. I thought about even a magnetic one.

Definitely my colors too! Love your fabric choices. Velcro might be another good closure choice.

I bet you did a happy dance after finishing this pretty tote. The bigger the bag the better for me! I also would like to try the magnetic closure. Its on my bucket list. I usually use velcro . A friend of mine always uses an elastic hair loop and sews a button on for a closure. I really like the front pocket and everything about your bag.

Your colors are beautiful together.

beautiful tote...you can put a zipper in even though the bag is finished...check out Nancy Zieman for recessed zipper instructions...

Nice tote, very pretty colors!

Beautiful fabric choices and lovely tote bag. It seems such a versatile size for all kinds of uses. There are lots of options for closures for sure.

maviskw 05-15-2016 04:34 AM

Beautiful bag! But it definitely needs a closure. I had a big bag like that and it tipped over in a restaurant. EVERYTHING fell out. How embarrassing! I put a zipper on mine and use it as my "purse" when flying. It holds a lot of things.

MargeD 05-15-2016 06:50 AM

The bag is absolutely gorgeous, and my favorite colors too. I think a magnetic closure would work well and attach easily. Great job.

gingerd 05-15-2016 08:25 AM

The pattern is Sweet Retreat from Whistlepig. They show 3 ways to make the tote; 2 1/2" strips (I did), charm squares, and a whole piece of fabric.

It gives directions for a velcro tab. I wish there was a photo so I could see it. I'm leary of sewing something on top of this now.

Claire123 05-15-2016 08:48 AM

Love it! Thanks for sharing.

RedGarnet222 05-15-2016 08:58 AM

I think you will get lots of compliments on this one. Perfect with jeans for the summer! If you want to put a magnetic closure onto it you still can. make two tabs with the magnet on either one, and then attach it to the inside and put on like they do belt loops sewing to the top side only and the tabs hanging down. I have a couple purses I bought made like that.

JanieH 05-15-2016 09:53 AM

Love your tote! I have used Whistlepig patterns before and really like them.

You have been busy making this tote and the quilt and tote in the previous posting!

I agree beautiful tote, velcro is OK short term but it is inclined to gather threads etc. why not try a pretty matching button with a loop, effective but not complicated as you can see.

katesnanna 05-16-2016 03:47 AM

Great tote. Don't be afraid of magnetic closures. Just remember to place some batting behind them. Piece of cake. Get a small pair of pliers which are just for you.

gingerd 05-16-2016 03:58 AM

Do you have a photo of the back of your tote where the loop is attached? If I could just see one I don't think I'd be afraid to put one on!

Thanks

The colors are gorgeous.

shasta5718 05-16-2016 06:36 AM

Beautiful bag. You could use velcro for closure and it wouldn't show.

joann11 05-16-2016 09:02 AM
