New Summer Tote Bags

At first, I made this one. The fabric is "Farmdale" from Alexander Henry.

Then I made this one. The same beautiful apples, just smaller...

the bag is also smaller,

for a mother-daughter team.

I also had in my stash these big apples, it's "Apple of My Eye" by Quilted Fish for Riley Blake. Big apples- big tote!

I added two zippered pockets (one inside and one outside), to keep safe the important stuff.

All three...

just one more picture...

I used many types of interfacing and I learned a lot! Including that Timtex is not fusible! I had to order 10 yds to learn this! It is not that I can't make it fusible or I can't use it...but today I would have needed a fusible Timtex! I finally found a substitute!
More about my interfacing experiment in a future post.

I think I will make one small change then I will write the pattern for these bags.
Enjoy the weekend!

Edited: The pattern for this bag is now available.
