One of the last things I wanted to do before the show this weekend is make some convertible totes. I had time to snap a few pix:
The convertible totes can either be folded open, folded closed, or carried upright with the shorter handles. Inside is a zipper pocket, key leash and a patch pocket with 2 pen slips and 2 larger pockets.
I made 5 of them:
I love them…and hope the folks at the show will too! 🙂
(The other day, somebody commented about whether I’d put these in my online shop or not. I probably won’t have time to – so if you’d like one of these, just email me!)

This are wonderful! I just love your whimsical birdies!!
Great totes! I love the birds too!
If they don’t, then they have a problem! Not only are the bags cleverly designed, the bags are of beautiful fabric with the cites birdies EVER!!!! Hope all goes well at the show!
These are just beautiful. Do you sell the pattern? The fabrics?
Thanks so much, glad you like them. I published a version of these convertible totes in Modern Patchwork a couple years ago, here’s a link to the downloadable version, and ooh, it’s on sale! http://www.interweavestore.com/modern-patchwork-2012-digital-edition
I do sell my hand dyed fabrics when I give workshops, etc… but I’ve never really gotten my act together enough to post fabrics online for sale. 🙁
I absolutely love these, and the colours!
They look very soft, do you use any batting or interfacing in the bags, or just a hard panel in the bottom?
If you ever make the pattern available, I would be interested 🙂
Hi Flo,
Thanks! I do use both a layer of SF101 and a layer of fusible fleece when making bags from quilting weight fabric. I have published the non-boxed corners version of this bag in Modern Patchwork 2012: http://tinyurl.com/mtphg4p Hope this helps!

Beautiful!
Love these bags! Is there anyway to get the pattern? I love to make bags!
