Hodgepodge Patchwork Tuesday - Pocket Purses, Calender Purses, Totebags, and Measurements

This yellow, black and white quilted tote bag started with a quilted piece of fabric that was about 24" X 34" .  I cut the body 19" by 24" and I cut two straps 4" X 24" and I cut an inside pocket 6" X 19". It measures about 16" across by 9" deep with a width of about 3-4".

This is the pocket purse I made with the blue green bag.  Measurements of the quilted piece before folding and sewing is about 8" X 11". Patterns are available for purchase for the pocket purses.

Calendar Purse or Checkbook Purse was made along with the blue green tote bag.  A pattern is also available.














       

This blue green tote bag finished at 11" X 11"
I started with a quilted piece that was 25" X 35".  I cut the body of the purse 17" X 28" with 2 straps 4" X 25" and inside pockets.

See photos for measurements of finished bag.

 

This is the sketch or plan I used to cut my purse (see next photo).

Here is another quilted tote bag I made from a quilted piece of fabric that measured about 24" X 48".  I cut the body of the tote bag 24" X 40" and 2 straps 4" X 24".  I cut a small inside pocket from another  multicolored quilted piece.  The finished bag measures about 21" across by 18" deep.

 

I hope these photos and information inspires you to make your own quilted tote bag or purse.  This would be a great project for you to do for May for Me!

One of a Kind Small Quilted Tote Bag by CraftySewing on Etsy

http://www.etsy.com/listing/65177787/one...

One of a Kind -- Small Quilted Tote Bag! I design and make all one of a kind bags -- No duplicates -- I make similar bags, but never the same color or size. It is really important to me that no one has the same bag. I believe our handbags and our carryall tote bags should be unique -- just for us! This is the quilted tote bag you will receive -- there is only one this size and color.

Uniquely quilted with a freestyle quilting design. I quilt my name into the quilting design - Marcia 2009 or 2010. It is yellow, black, and white with a large flower design in the fabric. Inside of the bag is a bright yellow fabric. No pockets. The embroidery stitching is stitched with black and yellow thread. All seams are bound with binding - no raw edges.

Works great for a tote bag - purse/handbag. Use this quilted tote to carry around your little projects and a magazine or two or your favorite paperback book or use it as your purse/handbag. Measures approximately 11 1/2 inches across by 9 inches deep. The width of the inside of the bag is 3 inches wide.

Made with 100% cotton fabric and 80/20 cotton/poly batting.

Machine washable.

A similar size of this quilted tote (or larger or smaller) can be "Made to Order". I have many fabrics to choose from or you may send your own fabric to make it your own! Contact me thru' Etsy for colors, sizes and prices.
