Roomy tote bags

June 5, 2009 26 Comments

The break from making bags didn’t last too much !
I spent most of the week making these totes. Because of this I am behind with my shadow trapunto pattern ! Actually, the pattern is ready but I am still working on a few surprises. I hope all will be ready in ten days.

Back to the totes: I made them using different fabrics. I am glad I found out a way to use those pretty fabrics which aren’t suitable for quilts !

The totes are really roomy (14” x 22” x 5 “).


But they can become smaller, with just a simple trick ! And they get another shape !
Look at these pictures :

I love the new shape !
