a couple more bag finishes . . .

This is another 241 Tote, but the first one that I made for myself!  I also tried the zipper pockets this time, and they were seriously the easiest zippers I've ever done.  I have plans to make one more of these bags for my sister-in-law to use as a small diaper bag.  I'll make it with the outside pockets and zipper pockets so she'll have lots of places to put all the 'stuff' that comes along with toting a little one around.

I put in a key-chain holder this time too, so handy!  And the strap is extra-long so I could wear it cross-body for all the shopping we did on our vacation, I didn't want to run the risk putting it down and forgetting my ID somewhere.

And this is another bag for a little girl's birthday that one of my daughters went to.  The pattern is a smaller version of the Tie Front Tote.

And this bag also uses up the last of my bigger pieces of Feeling Groovy from Riley Blake.  I bought 12 half yard cuts back in August, and have made 6 little bags for birthday presents, some notebook holders and tissue pouches, and the wall decor and wall pockets for my daughters room.

All I have left are some scraps of these fabrics now, and I'm debating whether or not to buy some more from the fabric line.  I love how fun and girly it is, but not too 'young' for my almost 9-year old.  So I'd love some suggestions for another fabric line that would work well, or if someone sees a half-yard bundle of Feeling Groovy at some really good clearance pricing, I probably won't be able to pass it up :)
