I made this Maker’s Tote for my Mom. She’s also a maker and so a handy carry-all seemed like a great idea.
The pattern is this new one by Noodlehead.
I used fabric from all four of my fabric lines, architextures, botanics, doe and carkai. (I still can’t believe I have four fabric lines…)
There are two size options included in the pattern, and this is the larger one. I think I’ll try out the smaller size next.
It has so much space and many handy pockets throughout.
I found a spot where I could take advantage of the special selvage treatment on one of the carkai prints.
This bag was a fun one to make and definitely one that will get used often. Next, I’ll have to make one for myself…

It’s a great bag! I made one for a Christmas gift and now I want to make one for myself! I didn’t quite understand how to do the zip (maybe it was the late hour) so I installed the magnetic snaps instead.

Ooo, magnetic snaps sound like a great solution!

I love the colors! and the fabrics of course. I bought the pattern but haven’t had a chance to make it yet! Hopefully some day soon:)

I love the use of your larger print design as the outer shell of the Maker’s bag. I was just wondering how I might use it!
Melissa Irvin says
Love how all of your fabric collections work so beautifully together! What a special, thoughtful gift!

Time to buy more carkai!
