When I made a quilt several years ago, I accidentally cut a few of the blocks with the diagonals circling the center clockwise instead of counter-clockwise, as the rest were cut. No matter. The extra blocks worked fine when I finally got them back out of my UFO drawer recently and made them into this quilted patchwork tote. The bag is 15.5 x 15.5 x 7.5 inches, a great size for doing some serious shopping. 20150228_24-A

I have made 3 of these totes, the first two were given away in swaps. With this last one I took progress photos and wrote down measurements, and I'm going to keep this one. Photo heavy post! And some photos were taken at night, sorry about that - but that is when I can sew and when the progress photos get taken. Here are the other two totes I made with the same process This is the front of one This is the back of another The front of the one above Here is the finished tote for the tutorial This tutorial is for the tote only - I will do a post later in the week on the thread painting. The finished tote measurements are approximately 17" h X 15" w X 5" d with a 14-15" handle drop. Start with a selection of fabrics cut 4 1/2" square. For this tote I used Wee Wander by Sarah Jane for Michael Miller fabrics. I loved the whimsical springtime feeling of these fabrics. I added some Botanics by Carolyn Friedlander for Robert Kaufman and a few solids. You will need 25 squares for the back and 25 for the front (if your front does not have a focal block in the center) Sew together squares for the back exterior of the tote 5 rows of 5 If your front is the same, you can sew together those squares also Back of tote before quilting Front of tote before quilting- if you want a focal block, this one is 12 1/2" unfinished, and it will fit perfectly in the center of the 4 1/2" squares to make the 20" x 20" sized front I lined my back and front exterior pieces with Pellon SF-101, I like this bit of lining for totes and bags. Layer the back and front exterior with batting (no need for a backing layer before quilting as there will be a lining in the finished tote) and quilt as desired. If you have a focal block for the front, you will need a 20"x 20" quilted front, make this as you desire, and cut to the same size as back. I matchstick quilted - which looks fabulous and helps hold the shape of the bag, but takes quite awhile so be prepared to spend some time at your machine doing this. Cut two lining pieces the same size as your exterior pieces, 20" X 20" You can add to this tote slip pockets, swivel hook for keys, closures. For this tote I added a slip pocket for my phone and a swivel hook for my keys. This is a deep tote, I don't want to dig for the little things. To add a slip pocket, cut a piece of fabric 7" x 8 1/2" ( you can change to any size your desire), line this piece with Pellon SF-101 for a finished look inside the slip pocket. Press each side under 1/4" and top stitch along the top only (long side) Attach to one side of lining approximately 3 1/2" down from the top edge and 6" from each side. Stitch along 3 sides (not the top), creating a slip pocket. Sew together the two lining pieces, right sides together, along two sides and bottom with a 1/2" seam allowance. Fold over the top edge 1/2" all the way around and press, toward the wrong side. Press your seams as you desire, I pressed open. You will box the bottom corners, I have photos of this with the exterior of the bag, it is the same process for the lining of the bag. For the exterior pieces, right sides together, sew together along 3 sides - the bottom and 2 sides with a 1/2" seam allowance. Press the seams open and now you will box the bottom. With right sides together, lay the exterior pieces so that the seams line up, going out from the corner, measure 3" along the seam and draw a stitch line across the exterior, all the way across. Stitch across drawn line, back stitching at beginning and end then cut off the corner 1/2" from the stitched line. Do this to both bottom corners of exterior and repeat for the lining. For handles you have several options, you can use cotton web and just attach, leather straps or lined cotton web. I chose the lined cotton web for this tote. This tote has an approximate 15" handle drop, so the cotton web pieces should be cut 30" each (not 15" as I did the first time!). My cotton web was 1 1/2" wide, I cut a piece of fabric 3" X 30" to line the web. Fold under each long edge of fabric 1/4" and press. Lay the cotton web centered down the fabric piece (wrong side of fabric), fold fabric over edge of cotton web, and glue baste each side, then top stitch. If you do not glue baste, you can clip with wonder clips. In this photo the green strap has been edge stitched and the peach one has been glue basted. Turn exterior right sides out, and attach the handles to the top edge of the exterior with a 1/4" from edge stitch. Line up the handles how you desire, make sure both sides are equal. When placing the handles, and before sewing down, roll the handle back up as if you are holding the tote to verify the handles will be facing the correct direction and won't be twisted when you have a finished bag. This is where I also attached my swivel hook, along the edge close to the corner. With the exterior of the tote turned right sides out, press under along the top edge 1/2". Place the lining inside the exterior with wrong sides facing, pull out the handles, and the swivel hook if you have it attached, and clip the lining to the exterior all the way around, lining up the side seams. I changed to my walking foot to edge stitch around the perimeter of the tote at 1/4". Make sure to catch the handles and the swivel piece. And now you should be able to take a deep breath and have a large tote to carry all your miscellaneous to your next meeting, play date, road trip or just walking around to show off our skills Keep Calm and Quilt On!

I have got round to sorting the process photos I took when making my Komebukuro bags (here and here) and thought I would post a bit of a how-to in case anyone was curious. [edited to add links, sorry!] These bags (originally made to contain rice) are quilted so they have a bit of structure to them, and being square and flat bottomed sit nicely on the floor or on a shelf when full. I made the larger one above - great for knitting wools or a crochet project perhaps - and the smaller one below which could happily contain a stack of fat quarters. The construction of the bag is quite straightforward, and you could make up the exterior in any way you like and to any size you want so I don't include measurements but just show how I constructed my two versions, with instructions for assembling the bag in another post. If anything is unclear, or if you find it difficult to work out your own measurements, please do let me know. Exterior version 1 - Liberty Crazy Patchwork panels. The sides of this bag have a crazy patchwork panel. I was lucky enough to get the chance to practice one method of crazy patchwork with Sheila at the Stitch Gathering. You can find many tutorials on Google but the pics below show how I made the panels for this bag. You will need: Scraps of Liberty tana lawn (I used a maxi scrap pack from Very Berry Fabrics, or use leftovers from another project) for making the Liberty panels. Four pieces of plain white cotton - for backing your Liberty panels - they should be just a little bigger than your intended Liberty panel. Fabric of your choice for sashing round the panels (in this case Essex Yarn Dyed Linen) Five pieces of batting the size of the sides and bottom of your bag plus seam allowances all round (not shown) Thread for quilting (machine or hand) For your crazy patchwork it helps to start with a five sided scrap (1). Sew a second scrap to your first piece (2), trimming the seam, opening out and pressing (3). Carry on working your way round your first piece one scrap at a time covering the previous raw edges (4-9). Trim the seams and press as you go. Keep an eye on your panel as you go - use your ruler to check whether it is the right size, and when it is, to cut your finished square selectively from it. Finished square. Here's another finished square - spot the deliberate mistake. The piece on the bottom right hand corner isn't big enough, leaving an unfinished edge flapping. I corrected it by adding another piece. TIP: You can make crazy patchwork by sewing your pieces to a foundation fabric, but it makes it difficult to trim the seams and in this case the excess fabric shows through the fine tana lawn. Take your piece and affix it to the one of your pieces of backing cotton using a small stitch round the edge to avoid fraying. At this stage you can embellish the seams with a fancy embroidery stitch if you like, as is traditional in crazy patchwork. Then trim away the excess backing. You will make four of these, and then it's time to add your side pieces.... Working to your own size, this is what you need! You will need to cut two side strips from your sashing fabric - I chose to make them something between 2/3 to a half of the panel width - and attach them. ...bottom strips ... and top strips. NOTE THAT YOU NEED TO MAKE YOUR TOP STRIPS 3/4 INCH TALLER THAN THE BOTTOM ONES. Press carefully. I pressed all my seams towards the linen rather than have their bulk show against the tana lawn. Place each finished side on a piece of batting and zigzag round the side and bottom edges - but not the top edge - to hold together. (Remember you have extra fabric along the top edge for reasons which will become clear when you come to assemble your bag.) Now you can think about quilting your panels. I did some running stitch in perle 8 round each crazy patchwork piece. _________________________ Exterior version 2 - Liberty 9-patch panels As per Exterior 1, but the patchwork panels are made as follows: You will need scraps of Liberty tana lawn big enough to cut into 36 squares of equal size which include a quarter inch seam allowance all around. My squares finished at 1inch, so started off as 1.5 inches. I was able to use leftovers from my first bag. four squares of plain cotton with length of side 3 times that of your mini squares - ie mine were 4.5x4.5 inches. To make these nine-patch panels I adapted the method used by Ali to make coasters . I took each square of plain cotton and folded it vertically into thirds, pressing the folds, then horizontally into thirds, pressing the folds. I then opened it out and sprayed it with spraybaste (505). Then I laid out my Liberty squares carefully using my fold marks as a grid to help placement. The spraybaste holds in place while you sew the seams. First sew the vertical seams, cut along the folds so you can open out the seam allowance and press the seams open. Repeat with the horizontal ones. Then proceed as for crazy patchwork bag. Once the sides and batting were fixed together the patchwork panel was quilted in the ditch.

I love seeing your makes, feel free to share 🧵 LINING FIT Some useful advice: to ensure your lining fits well, cut the lining fabric 32.5” x 16” ( pattern says 33”) Do check the size against your patchwork piece first though as it will depend on the accuracy of the patchwork seam allowances. If in doubt cut the lining the same size as the patchwork. Then sew the lining up using just a smidge over the 1/2” seam allowance stated in the pattern. It will make all the difference to the fit of the lining. Happy Stitching! Patsy

Handmade patchwork tote bag mady by me in my home studio in North Wales. This tote bag is part of a small collection of abstract patchwork bags made from fabric remnants, offcuts, scraps, etc. Every one is unique. The outer is made from linen and the lining could be any fabric we had spare. They all have internal pockets. Size: 39cm x 40cm (approx.). Care: gentle wash in cool water. We try to only use sustainably sourced fabrics and trims for all our projects. They are second hand, upcycled, deadstock or, if brand new, produced in a way, that’s less harmful to the environment (organicly grown cotton, European linen, hemp). This also means that little details like buttons or binding might vary in type and colour from batch to batch.
