I saw some totes at the quilt show that were priced at 15.00 each and above. It seemed steep to me but then I'm on a fixed budget.

that is a hard guess triss. but when you figure it out, let me know. i'm interested.

I would pay 15.00 for a quilted bag.

Triss · « **Reply #3 on:** Mar 23, 2010, 09:26:44 PM »

These are not quilted though. I have gotten people saying anywhere from 25 down to 10 and I just have no clue. I did figure out it costs about 10 in material and about 3 hours of straight work.

triss, it is one of those things that you will not make your money out of them if you include your time. but i would like to see you turn a profit. they do look good though.

Its too bad you couldnt stock pile enough and sell them at a craft fair/booth.

Triss · « **Reply #6 on:** Mar 24, 2010, 08:21:52 PM »

I could do that as well. If someone makes an offer on one I have ready to go, I will see it. Otherwise I will save them.

I finished up a few more gift bags last week...

Beautiful fabric, Triss! They are fun and easy to make, aren't they?

Triss · « **Reply #9 on:** Apr 26, 2010, 11:24:40 PM »

They are... I want to start buying the leftovers that WM keeps in a shopping cart so I can have a wide variety of them. I got lucky last week and scored some Thomas the train fabric, enough to make Mikey a bag like Charlies.

I like those ones Triss, very colorful.

bayou girl · « **Reply #11 on:** Apr 27, 2010, 10:28:05 PM »

i like that triss. you are doing great with those!

Triss · « **Reply #12 on:** Apr 27, 2010, 11:04:14 PM »

Thanks everyone. I really do like Jessica's pattern.

Those would make a good purse for when you are carrying only your walet, and dont want to lug a big bag.

I love mine.

Triss · « **Reply #15 on:** Apr 28, 2010, 01:49:39 PM »

That is a good idea Penny. What uses have you found for yours Sheri? Right now all the ones I have made are just sitting in a box... of course all of my stuff is like that right now.

Jessica · « **Reply #16 on:** Apr 28, 2010, 02:23:37 PM »

I carry my lunch in one, I use them to haul around my knitting and have also used them for books. Tristen has used his as an overnight bag when he stays at grandma's, to haul his swimming stuff and also to take some toys along. I love them. They are very versatile.

Triss · « **Reply #17 on:** Apr 28, 2010, 02:42:15 PM »

Mine are too small for those kinds of things but I can see bigger ones being used for the stuff you do. I think once I get my craft room set up at the new house, I will have to make some bigger ones for my projects. I always have more than one going and it would be nice to be able to hang them up out of the way.

Jessica · « **Reply #18 on:** Apr 28, 2010, 03:02:28 PM »

Yes, if you are doing afghans they definitely wouldn't be big enough. I use them for smaller projects.

Triss · « **Reply #19 on:** Apr 28, 2010, 07:55:26 PM »

But they would work for scarves. I use the larger bags I make for my afghans.

bestofour · « **Reply #20 on:** Apr 28, 2010, 08:17:50 PM »

I have library books in mine right now Triss. It's the perfect size.

Triss · « **Reply #21 on:** Apr 28, 2010, 09:22:22 PM »

That is great Sheri. I get too many books at one time for that to work for me.

Penny · « **Reply #22 on:** Apr 29, 2010, 06:08:01 AM »

Or bags for the kids, those would be great for that.

Triss · « **Reply #23 on:** May 26, 2010, 02:04:53 PM »

Just got my latest bag out of the dryer... It is a theme bag for our schools... both of them actually as the Tigers were the mascot for our old school and new. A lady at our new grocery store asked if I made bags in these colors cuz she liked the one I have been using. I am going to take it over to her and see if she is interested in buying it.

Very nice, Triss. I take it that is orange and not as red as it looks in the photo?
