Hello Cuties, I had a strip of fabric left, after sewing the two totes. I was able to sew two cosmetic bags like this larger one and also one ITH small zipper bag. I remembered to put my name on the large bag but forgot on the ITH one (see front and backs)

My friend Pearlie and I each get a tote and each get the larger bags, but I think I'll kept the small zipper bag for myself. I use these a lot.
I forgot to add a strap, on the side of this larger bag like I did on the one in Community sewing, to hook it to my inside tote. I can still hook it by using a larger ring with my pull though.
I do love this fabric. Hope you do too.-Toogie

What a shame you didn't get a bit more of this fabric I could see a few being made for your next trip away.
They all look great.

Yes, I would have made one for a prize. I did look for some today but that Walmart didn't have it. I'm going to try looking for it at another.

Thanks Chris, my niece thinks the little ith bag looks leather looking, with all the stippling stitches.

Very pretty and practical, too! I love that you put your name on your bags. I must remember to do that. I love making bags because they are such nice gifts. A few years ago we visited a craft fair in a nearby community and there was a bag that I had made with a 2nd place ribbon on it!!!!. I took pictures showing the name of the person who entered it and reported it. Later on that same year we went back to see their Fall/Christmas craft sale and there was MY bag sitting on the table at one of the vendor's tables. I faced her with it and she denied up and down and that she had sewn it. I asked her what pattern she had used and where she got her fabric etc. and she was very evasive. I didn't want to make a scene and let it go. So...a lesson learned. Now you've given me a solution. Will have to figure out something because I have several bags ready to stitch out; maybe I'll do my initials on the lining. Thanks teaching me another sewing tip. Love your bags. Avis
P.S. Is this pattern ITH?

The small bag is ith, as I stated, but the other nine I sewed the regular way. Shame about your bag and the other one getting credit for it. There are all kind of frauds out there. I try to remember to put my name but once in a while I forget.

Thank you! I went to my local Walmart to get some and that one didn't have it. Thursday, I am suppose to go shopping with a friend so maybe I will find it at that WM.
