Considering I do not make tote bags and things like that very often I am pleased with how this turned out. A few mistakes here and there, but if I don’t point them out maybe they will not be noticed. The outside pocket is actually higher than it looks here, I will show another of the front in a bit.
The back and the sides
the inside – two large pockets with velcro closures. and I added a little fabric loop at the top to hook my keys onto.
Seeing as I was pleased with how it turned out I decided to make a new cover for my kindle while I had the sewing machine out! and it fits in the front pocket great. If I ever make another one of these though the pocket will be higher on the bag, probably by another 4 inches.
The kindle cover – yes mistakes there too – I’m not selling it – it’s mine – I’m not fixing anything!
I didn’t machine quilt this – I could have and maybe I will still. Just some straight lines so it won’t be quite so puffy. If I do it will be tomorrow though.
This tote bag is actually large enough for me to fit my computer in it also – I am contemplating making a new padded cover for it as well – I still have 3 fat quarters left over from the Kate Spain Fandango line and some scraps – an envelope type of bag with the same stuff for padding. I am really pleased with Soft and Stable and will use it again. I have enough here though to make the computer bag and still have some left over for other things so I won’t have to order any. Thank you CJ for helping me out by selling me some of the Soft and Stable that you had on hand so I didn’t have to wait for an order.
I will decide on the computer bag tomorrow – I’m done out using the sewing machine after 2 days – I’m back to hand piecing or hand quilting for the evening! Did you get a lot done this weekend? I have heard back from all the give away winners – packages will be in the mail tomorrow!

it might turn out different every time I do it.
