Friday Nite Sew In - A Tote full of Fun


 I started making this bag last month during Heidi's
 Remember the fun giraffe fabrics.





It's FINISHED ! ! !

 It's the Chubby Charmer pattern designed by
Penny Sturges...but with
a few tweaks of my own.


Added a big pocket to the front
Added shoulder straps vs shorter handles.
Easy to carry on the shoulder along with
a baby in your arms.

Two fabric strips sewn into the back of the bag
 make the easy to open and close
as they fit snugly around a large button.

Pattern calls for magnets to close the sides
But I like the look of the fabric ties.
Untie these for LOTS of room inside
to carry whatever you need.

Inside also has a large 9 x 10" pocket on each side.

and the back side of tote
This bag finishes at about 14 T x 18 W x 10 Deep. 

The new owner loves this fun Kwilty Pleasure!

I am not sure what I'll be working on tonite.
