    I am looking for a pattern to carry my quilt to classes in. It is a bag that can extend to a bigger size. I seem to remember it had some kind of webbing that folded down to make it bigger

    Hello Dot -

    if you google expandable tote bag pattern several sites will come up. One that looks like it might be what you're looking for is www.pursepatterns.com. Hope you find it. I purchased one when I attended the Paducah show several years ago and love being able to make it "taller".

    there is a web site, Sew Practical. I know they have a neat pattern. It's also a very neat site.
    I just went back and found a link: http://www.sewpractical.com/search/l...ote%20Patterns
    The e-pattern is only $3.

    I think I know the bag you mean. A friend made a bunch of them several years ago and gave them out as gifts. I got one, and I have used it and used it. She used pre-quilted fabric and webbing for the straps. I don't know where she got the pattern. I can't find it online.
