I made a tote bag for my sister for her birthday. I used the
Pleated Tote pattern from
Artsy Crafty Babe. I enlarged the pattern so it would be a nice big tote for her. And I put extra pockets for lots of storage. It was a lot of fun to make!
 |
| The finished tote. I love this fabric and was happy to make into a present for my sister! |
 |
| Nice long handles. The bag turned out a bit large than I intended, but that's alright. But really, is a bag ever too big?... |
 |
| This is the first time I've done this type of zipper. For my first try it came out alright. |
 |
| I even put a little pocket inside the zipper pocket. :-) Have I mentioned I really like pockets? |
 |
| 3 pockets in one! I like pockets like this for storing keys, cell phone and such. The little things you want access to right away and don't want lost in the bottom of your bag. |
 |
| The detail stitching I did along the top of the bag. This is one of my favorite stitches. |
I'm super happy with how this turned out. And I'm happy it went to a good home! Now, I need to make a new bag for myself!
