What was your inspiration?

The fabric as always. Thought this would make lovely Christmas gifts for both here and in Australia....easy to make but I add extra details to make it unique....magnetic clip to close and my own label inside. both front and back are quilted.

What are you most proud of?

The great job I did....haven't made craft like this before and enjoy the comments I have had with them.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Use your favourite charm pack and get the right stiffening Pellon for the base.

I love this tote, I have made a dozen of them, sold some and given the rest as gifts...very addicting:) Love the offset outside pocket.
