Finishing small things 4

On my finish along list for quarter two I have a mosaic of small projects.  



This project is number 12.

Procrastinating about the more intricate piecing I need to do on two quilt tops I decided to make the 2-4-1 tote I cut out so many years ago.  This was my original idea...


I mislaid the other main piece of this bag (the fabric with pink flowers on it) so cut out two new pieces, then the interfacing (from muslin as I didn't have enough of the sticky stuff) and the lining.  It turns out I hadn't cut out as much as I thought!   I followed the instructions by Noodlehead.  I am probably the only person who hasn't made one of these bags...and I have to say it was pretty straightforward.  

I went for the easy version without zipped pockets but a patch pocket inside - more elephants!   It does have a magnetic fastening which I used for the first time - super easy to do that!   

 It has had a bit of a transformation and morphed into quite a different look.  But who wouldn't like elephants?  


I will be linking this project to the Finish-A-Long 2016 at the end of quarter 2

  1. No, I haven't made one of these, even though I have had the pattern for quite some time! Maybe your pretty version is the push I need. You are making great headway on your FAL list- you are a woman possessed!!!

  7. I love those elephants! I find bags super challenging, so you can add me to the list of people who haven't made one :)
