I have made tote bags a few times. One can never have enough of them. I could actually use a few more right now. I’d love to win. Thanks.
I have made several totes this year. One for my little chihuahua’s supplies. She goes everywhere with me. Another is for my library books. I check out so many books I need something to carry them in. I have another tote made from recycled blue jeans for overnite trips.
My favorite thing to make would be purses. Sometimes I teach purse classes. The best part about teaching is that I always learn something myself. I love new patterns and often stumble upon new ways to do even simple tasks. Now, got to go sew. bye
I haven’t completed any yet, but I have a bunch of fabric purchased for them!
Yes! I made grocery totes from advertising banner fabric. They are fun and a little more fun to carry. I have made several purses, wallets, cosmetic bags and checkbook covers. Always a good present
I do make bags! Here is the last one I made. I’ve been using it nonstop for all of my stuff and it even holds some of my kids’ items too!

I’ve gotten a lot of compliments!
I’ll be making another one soon…but I am thinking the fabric I bought for it might end up a backpack for my toddler…

I have made bags for many years.., mostly gift and tote bags without hardware as I find the cost ghastly. Working on a purse now, well, not right now. It has been sitting for a couple of weeks because I was a bit overwhelmed. I will be getting back to it in the near future, I’m sure….
I have made 1 bag for my kindle. I loved picking out the fabrics! It was loads of fun, but I am intimidated at the thought of making my own purse (even though it takes me months to find a purse that is acceptable…).
Yes, I love making totes and bags. I just finished a beach bag for my sister who lives at the Jersey Shore-wanted to bring something positive to all the confusion there.
I’m slowly working my way through the “Sew Serendipity Bags” book. I’ve tried out 4 patterns so far.
I have made both in the past but it has been a while since I have sewn. Would love to sew a tote since I am always using them and love having unique totes. Thank you for the chance to win the patterns.
I love making bags of all kinds. I make a purse for my grand daughter for every outfit I make her too!!
