Another finish for March for the "One Project a Month Challenge"! I've completed my Envelop Bag today! (s

ssshhhh... needs 2 buttons for closures)Today I made the handle, and the inserts I mentioned yesterday.
Then I hand stitched the inserts in place...
These inserts make the side pockets deeper... for fear of loosing something... I tend to carry a lot around... 8-)
The insert fabric was as close in color as I was going to get shopping from my stash... It works well enough! 8-)
For those that requested, I'm very sorry, but I can't do a tutorial on the Envelope Bag, but you can find the pattern at The Quilt Company site. Look under patterns, they call it the "3 Pocket Tote". 8-)

Wow!That is just TOO CUTE! I will have to get the pattern!
So cute, Myra! I think your insert fabric goes great with the other fabrics. What a clever pattern that is. How do people come up with such things?

Yay! Another finish for March! Keep
'em comin'! What's next???
Fantastic!! Looks like you've had a very productive March, Myra!!
Very nice. I have that pattern and have made that bag and the side pockets weren't deep enough. I wasn't as clever as you, though. Great idea to add that extra fabric to make the pockets more serviceable!
Very nice and it looks like a good size too. I don't like huge bags and if they are too small they are useless. This one is just right.
What a fabulous finish. I love your bag.
Myra, the bag looks so nice. Congratulations on another finished project and does that not feel so good.
Oh I love it so sweet. in reply to your question about the orange quilt I drew the lines on freehand using a medeira magic marker pen that disapears after a few hours and I used a snap quilting frame which is great,
I love your bag!
This bag is fantastic.
I did a tutorial on a similar bag that some ladies taught to me. Yours turned out so well!
Love the bag and the colors!!
That's a neat envelope bag. Nice colors.
