18 tote bags here
 

I was given upholstery samples, from one of our quilting ladies who works, at a furniture store. I decided to make these tote bags. Each bag took 3 samples for the front, back and handles. I had lining fabrics in my stash. Funny thing is not too many wanted the samples when offered so I took the ones left home with me. Now 4 or 5 of them want a tote. My neighbor got one and of course my youngest daughter had to have one. There is only one larger than the rest and it’s mine. I had a little upholstery fabric already so I made this and 3 more from my stash. Cleaned out one box of fabric but now have a box of totes!-lol
I wasn’t sure where to post this as it’s not quilting but I did want to show you all. Have a nice weekend-Toogie

Wow! Good job on those totes!

At a guild I used to belong to, we made totes from upholstery fabric for women in a domestic violence shelter. Yours are really pretty!

Those are nice!

Bet some of the other ladies wish they would have taken some of those samples.

Quick, simple, and lovely. No wonder everyone wants one. They look very pretty.

they look better than some i've seen with big pricetags. [thumbs up X 100]

Nice. They look amazing. The ol' saying still rings true. One person's trash is another person's treasure. Your creativity kept those samples out of the landfill. 😁

Those are so pretty.

Great totes! You always seem to have a trick up your sleeve.

You are so creative, Toogie, and have made amazing bags from those samples. Beautifully done!
