I made this little tote for Parker-son of friend Linda's cousin Paige who was in town visiting. He loved the books and the little bag. I used to love to read these books to my kindergarteners when I taught school.
Used the spot fabric by andover inside and out. Love this

Basic Ttoe Bag Tutorial

http://users.zoominternet.net/~bbcarter/totebag.doc
I developed this tutorial a few years back to help people just starting out who did not know how to make a basic tote bag with inside pockets and interfacing and magnetic closure.

When I was in Texas at the International Quilt Market I went to Anna Maria Horner's class and she showed and talked about this pattern. It was made in her new fabric of velvet. Gorgeous.

These are the greatest clips and work wonderfully=especially on a strap or around the top of a bag. I know they would work on anything. No more sticking yourself. I ordered these from California from the designer in his shop. Then when I went to Texas I met him. fabuous guy.

Lovey lynn in Florida's new bag I made

I bought this pattern from Etsy in PDF form and it is called Darla. I decided to use it to make Lovey Lynn's bag so it wouldn't be exactly like Lovey Mimi's bag. It turned out cute too.

This is the make up bag I made to go with Lovey's bag. She loved it so much and held it up for the picture. We were at her house enjoying a pre christmas celebration and delivious dinner.
She and husband Kent really know how to entertain.
she loved this make up bag as it is big enough to hold all her stuff.

Here is the last purse I made right before Christmas for cousin Lovey-Mimi- which she loved. I used some fabric I had saved for a long time. It is Moda Chocolate patchwork and flowered inside and out. I love this fabric by # Sisters.
Lovey loved it so much she wanted her sister Lovey Lynn to have one too....so recently I made one for her too. She lives in Florida and I still haven't sent it.
