Tote bags

I have been sewing up a storm lately and have created a total of 17 tote bags in the last 2 weeks!  I used this tutorial for the 1st bag I made, but then made some changes to the sizing for the rest.  These are really easy to make and (if using non-directional decor weight fabric) really quick, too.


Here are some lined tote bags...


Some child sized totes...

And a few more of the little girl totes...

I need to order some fabric online and then I will be making a few more totes for my mom to give as gifts.  I have almost all of the birthday gifts for the little girls and women in my family done for this year!  Next I'll be working on gifts for the little boys.

Great bags! I also used Irene's tutorial to start sewing totes. I like the lined totes for groceries & gifts. I've started using my chicken feed bags for the outer "fabric" for a unique twist. Keep up the good work :)
