XXXLG Tote for quilts by Toogie
 

This will try to be a picture tutorial, if I can load all of them. I hope they go in sequence. It will have to be continued, as I can only upload 5 pictures at a time.

You can easily make this in a couple hours. Please let me know if I skipped a step. I'm sure as quilters most of you sew and can figure this out. Maybe you just needed the size for a starting point. Oly fun/cloth is easy to work with. It is not heavy and bulky, it does not fray or ravel. I think the straps going from bottom seam gives more strength that sewing straps to top edge where weight of contents may pull and eventually tear the straps sewn there. I hope you can understand my tut but if you have a problem, just ask, I'll try to help. Have a nice day-Toogie

Thank you.

:) Thank you for the detailed tute on your tote bag! You are a wonderful teacher.

Great size to haul donation quilts to Project Linus. I'm just afraid when I empty it at the meeting I'll fill it up with donation fabric! I'll just have to put on by big gril panties and see what wonderful treasures I'll bring home. TY for the wonderful tutorial.

Thank you for the tutorial!

Thanks so much. I know making these tutorials takes a lot of time and thought.

My husband didn’t like the handle straps that long and neither did I. I reworked my existing bag straps so now I think TWO 64inches for strap handle is all I would change on this tutorial. I hope this didn’t mess anyone up. It wasn’t hard to re-do if you need to shorten your existing handles.

Thanks for the wonderful tutorial on this bag. I think most of us could make use of a bag this large.
