    This is my newest tote bag that I have for sale in the spa where my daughter works. The spa owner indicated that her clientele will scoop these up as fast as she can put them out on the shelf. I hope she's right! Thanks for looking!

    Very cute! How much are you charging? I would like to do the same thing here, but did not know how to price.

    This is a very pretty bag and if I do say so myself, perfect colors for a spa setting.

    Amazing choice of fabric, one of the best I have seen, heck I would love that bag. What pattern did you use to make this one? The best of luck on selling them!

    The spa is selling them for $55.00. The spa owner will take her $10.00 commission and I will get $45.00. Pricing is based on the cost of fabric and notions plus the time it takes to construct the bag. Her clientele is used to spending that much for a small jar of wrinkle cream so won't bat a false eyelash over the price. If I were selling these at a craft fair I might price them at $45.00 but definitely not less than $40.00.

    Thanks very much! This is one of my favorites so far. I was quite tempted to keep it for myself! You can see two of the others I made on my other posts "Just Completed Pink Paisley Tote Bag" and "Springtime Tote Bag." I don't use a pattern for these. They are made from fat quarters and I have a quick walkthrough on how I make them on the Springtime Tote Bag post. They are fun to make and there are so many possibilities when you mix and match the fat quarters.
