Totes are one of my favorite things to make for gifts. Yours are beautiful, by the way.

I use drapery or upholstery fabric for most of mine, so I just add a lining and pockets and I'm done. I've discovered that the fabrics that have too high a polyester content to suit for quilting make great linings and inside pockets. I had some that were sort of crisp and slick (and not really very pretty either), but coordinated nicely with the upholstery fabric colors. Sorry I don't have pictures as they already found new homes before I got around to taking pictures.

Your totes look great...love the Vera Bradley items inside.

So Vera Bradley was an obsession about 6 months ago (after my friend introduced me to her). But I stuck with sales, older patterns (they were all new to me!), etc. when I bought items.

I'm a bit less enticed by Vera now! Figuring I can make whatever it is I want - plus I get to hand pick the fabrics, etc. And finding fabric I love on sale - even better!! I am a happy camper!!

Beautiful totes. Thanks for sharing.

Nice totes. You'll find that every one you make is a learning experience. Keep notes so you can make ones with all your new knowledge.

Have fun, I make lots and lots of totes as well. I have done 100's of them and probably only 50 quilts.......
