I have the pattern, most of the notions, and not a clue about fabric!! I really wanted to do a cream/gold brocade but don't have enough of the fabric left unless I find something to match with it. Having only found black zips in the proper sizes I think it will end up being black-and-white.
Stupid eejit that I am, I gave away all the home dec fabrics that I was sure I'd never use. Sigh.

I just received my pattern for the tote. In looking it over quickly, I'm sure I'm going to enjoy the challenge. The first challenge will be rounding up all the supplies and fabric that are needed.

Any one remember the price for the pattern and anywhere inparticular to get it? Otherwise, I will just Google the name.
Didn't mean to hijack. Sorry. Thanks.

And if they aren't the right size, I believe you can use larger zippers and cut them down, so you could use the ones readily available in the fabric stores.

Thank you all for your replies. My apologies on the delay in responding. I must have unchecked the box to receive notifications and forgot about the topic.
It's good to know that it will take awhile and to be sure to mark carefully to keep on track of the pieces.

Just got the pattern for that and the Bow Tuck in the mail last night. It will probably be a few days before I can get to it. So many other projects....
I ordered them both from pursepatterns.com. That site has a billion bags!

I just finished making the professional tote. I didn't time myself, but the materials cost me $40. I don't think they can be sold without special permission because of the copywrite - there is even a note in the pattern giving special permission to copy the page of labels to cut out and put on the cut pieces of fabric.
