Lynda and I are going to Ireland in 3 weeks and I wanted a tote bag that I would carry with me during the day that I could put my coat, scarf and umbrella in, in case of inclement weather. I started out designing one in brown and turquoise to match the clothes that I am taking. I thought I would try a "disappearing 9 patch". The only problem was that I forgot to allow for the seam allowance. I cut the squares at 4 inches instead of 4 1/2 so the purse was too small. So, I decided to make another purse and made the blue one, but it didn't match my clothes so I made a third tote bag. The last one is the right size and colour.
Now have I two more tote bags that I don't really need. All three have zippers and internal pockets. I am getting quite a collection of tote bags as I have many others also that I made just for something new to try. What to do, what to do.
