These tote bags kept me busy this week.
The fabric is a heavyweight cotton from Ikea.
This one is really large, great for shopping or a walk to the beach.
For this one I change a little the pattern.
It is smaller and with rounded corners.
Isn’t the stripped fabric versatile ? This pattern requires two fabrics. I did not have another fabric to match with the green strips, so I changed the orientations of the strips. Love it!
Now I want to make 2 totes in small size and make happy two mother-daughter teams!
Ooh, I love them both, but using the strips in those ways makes the green one my favourite, I think.
Great bags and I love the fabrics that you used … especially the green stripe.
Love those bags! Is it your pattern?
Both are great bags. I especially like the green striped one.
Great looking tote bags!
The bags are very very great – and I´m a really entusiastic Bag-lover!! Wher can I buy the pattern????

I would love to know which pattern this one is! I also really like the green one. I think it is a combination of the fabric and the rounded corners. Nice!
Gorgeous bags. Geta, you make the prettiest things!
they look great!!
Haha, you couldn't resist it, je had to make more totebags, haha. So lovely this pattern!
Great bags – Isn't that Ikea fabric wonderful (and cheap!)
These are fabulous bags Geta! I love your blog too, you make beautiful projects 🙂 Sarah
I love your bags–very unique. Did you make up the pattern?
I love the colours and the designs of your bags. They're lovely. Thanks for sharing. Ali x
Love the green stripe. This post linked back to one on June 5 2009, where you modified the shape. I can see how you make front and back stay together, but how did you make the sides stay tucked in?
so crisp and clean looking! I must make a bag, sooner or later!
