By the time I make ONE - they'll probably be out of style

I have to say I've made lots and lots of bags. Even though I love to work on quilts, I don't complete very many of the quilts. However, I've never not finished a tote. I don't have too many I've kept; either gave them away or sold them. But I do have a few that my quilting friends gave me and I use them all the time. I love switching them out and matching them to my mood. It also reminds me of the person who made it for me.

I too am bagless. I see all the pretty bags and think " I should make one of those" but I never do. I have several bag patterns but never seem to get around to them...too many quilt ideas running through my head that I just HAVE to do!

me too!
I don't normally use words like this but that is a "darling" handbag. I have added it to my sewing "bucket list". :lol:

I've made it a bit larger than the pattern, larger still, but not quite right. The pattern was free. Here's a link:

I can finally say that I made my first bags last week. I was at my daughter's and she needed me to help her make some bags for her upcoming show. Me, I'm not a bag person, I love them but just not making them. I was really nervous but I did it. So proud of myself. The first bag, just a simple tote, took me two days to finish. The next, a Bow tuck bag, I finish in one day. Proud to say they came out pretty good.
