Well, I finished the Travel Tote.

I stopped myself in the middle, and had to decide whether I wanted pockets or not.  I started with the idea of having spaces for putting things in, but in the end, decided against it.  For 2 reasons.  1.  I couldn't figure out how, and then I remembered that the pocket in my knitting tote is a big giant pain because things fall out of it!

But, it is done.

The most important part is that it is the Cape Palliser Lighthouse.  It is my own beacon and reminder of home when I am away.

So, I am happy. 

So happy I made another bag.....

:P

The Travel Tote

Well, I have my idea sorted, found the bits of fabric I haven't seen since we moved here (4 years ago...) and started cutting......

I'll show you.... Ignore the rainbow fabric- I just forgot I had that....

But, you should be able to see what the bag will feature......

The Travel Tote

Those of you who know me well are aware of my need for the perfect bag.

And, personally, I need to get this one right.........

So, I decided to do the Solid Colour Tote Challenge.  This way I can think through and create the perfect travel bag..... (Though, I keep actually leaning towards a rainbow fabric, which isn't a solid at all........ so watch this space)

As far as I have figured, the perfect travel tote needs to be easy to carry, cool, remind me of something awesome, be easy to find stuff in, strong enough to carry my books and things, ideally have a pocket for the things that keep sliding to the bottom of my bag, and be unicorn friendly.


This next trip coming up for me will have crutches involved.  So, the easy to carry has to reach an epic new level of easy to carry!
