A couple new totes finished
I cut this pattern down so it measures about 11 3/4 x 13 1/2 and changed the outside pocket size on one. I love the spring colors! Again, both have multiple divided I side pockets, key clip, tissue packet cover, and a rigid bottom in a removable and reversible slip cover. I really like this size. not too big, not too small! I love decorating them with buttons and yoyos!

[QUOTE=Beeboop71;5921576]Oh my these are lovely! I love making totes myself. Is this your pattern?[/QUOTE
No, it is called Pockets A Plenty by Susan Marsh, but her original pattern makes a really large tote, so after making a few of those, I cut the pattern down to a size I like better. The blue one, I made the blue pocket a bit smaller so only got a third pocket stitched between them for a pen or comb, etc. The green one I made the pocket bigger, so I could stitch a cell phone pocket.

I love the fabric you used in the blue one, I make totes, and I use the Fons and Porter pattern. I make them big for totes, but I want to start making pocketbooks, but I just haven't started one yet. The totes I make have six pockets on the in side. It takes me five hours to quilt the fabric, and five hours to make the tote. So It takes me 10 make one bag. I use a button closure, and it is washable, and I have a board in the bottom. You do a wonderful job, keep up the good work.
