I have a BT tote that I bought from a quilt group and then took a class with them. What is stopping me from finishing it? I want magnetic closures...so, now I am going to find out if my lining is sewn down. it has been a year!

Question ... How many thicknesses does the magnetic closure attach to? Don't want it to wear through the lining.

Oh, yes, your bag is wonderful and does look like California! Your friend should enjoy it very much!

This is the tote pattern, but only 13x5x11. I consider tote bags to be much bigger than this, and I call it a purse. Yes, lol, I carry lots of goodies with me everywhere. And DH always has something he wants carried, too. Plus I am environmentally conscientious when I buy things and say no plastic baggie for me, thank you. The magnetic closure goes though the lining and the fusible fleece attached to same. I don't think it will wear through, but only time will tell, I guess. I suppose it depends on how aggressive the user is, and if they wash it in the washer several times.

Beautiful!!! I have about 5 of these in different fabrics. One of the ladies I work with is a wiz at making them! I love it. I like the larger one better than the smaller one.
