I love patterns from Anna from Noodle-head and was excited to make another Oxbow Tote, this time the overnight size. Last January, I deconstructed an old canvas bag to make the smaller sized Mickey Mouse version of the OxBow Tote.
I modified the pattern slightly by putting a pocket on both sides of the bag instead of just one. I also added an inset pocket into the lining.
This pattern is a very fun make. The only issue I had was my own misread of the pattern which resulted in my cutting the handles and the zipper for the regular size instead of overnight. I've put them aside for a future bag!
I hope to take this bag on a trip later this month!
Have a wonderful day!

I like it a lot! It looks like a great design, especially with the handles that wrap around the whole bag, ensuring they'll securely hold under the weight of whatever you put inside. Also, that floral print is lovely! I hope you're getting to use it to go someplace fun!
ReplyDeleteThe bag looks awesome. I bought the pattern at QuiltCon and should really try to make it as well!
ReplyDeleteThis tote is so cute!!! I love the floral fabric you picked. I have been wanting to sew a bigger tote bag to fit all my work stuff in. I will have to try this pattern! I have been so busy having my kitchen cabinets painted so I haven't had much time to sew recently. Hopefully this will get me back into the flow!
ReplyDeleteLooks great! The more pockets, the better in my opinion. :)
