241 Tote

I've had a long weekend and decided to end it on making myself something functional.  I've been itching to make myself a 241 Tote from Noodlehead. 


I took the time to double topstitch the edges. . . this is a new one for me.  I even added this cute little pocket on the inside.  Adorable!


The bag is a bit smaller than I anticipated. Not that it's bad.  Since I adore it!


A few blogger folks commented that this only took them 2 hours. This cutie took me more than a couple hours.  It was more like 4 hours, but I was listening to Pandora and enjoying the process.

    That looks great. I am seriously going to have to make one too now that I've seen yours and Lindsey's.

    I like your bag as well! Super cute! Isn't it a fun pattern to make. It definitely took me longer than 2 hours. I figured it was because I cut all of the main pieces using scissors and I didn't layer my fabrics to get more than 1 at a time b/c I was afraid of shifting.

    You should make me one . . . in purple, grey (light), green, off-white ideas come to mind. :-) I love the pockets on the inside too!

    Keep up the good work Missy!
