Tote bag - made almost entirely in the hoop. (Testing a new design.) The second picture shows it still in the hoop - all that remains is to join the side and bottom seams of the lining.. The front section has a pocket which is closed when the flap is fastened.
Finishing this was rather depressing when I realised that I would need to make at least one more before I could offer the design. It might just remain on my "to do" list.

Good job! I know you have a large hoop, so what size is the finished bag?
2 comments
It is 30 cm high on a base 30 cm x 14cm. Circumference is about 90 cm.
So 11 3/4 inch high on a base 11 3/4 x about 5 1/2 inches. Circumference being about 35 3/8 inch....A good sized bag.

Beautiful bag. Seems like a daunting task to do all in the hoop!. Great job.

Seven hoopings in all, but it is great when the order comes together and everything is joined up.

It is a great bag and I hope you will eventually be able to add it you your Facebook. It seems always easier to create then writing the instructions.
