Last year I made an offer to my two sisters and sister-in-law that if they picked out the fabric, which I would purchase, I would make them a bag of their choice. My sister-in-law was the only one to jump on this offer. She picked out the butterfly fabric from the Cocoon line to match a coin purse she already had and loved. I had several patterns for her to choose from and she picked the Super tote from Noodlehead because it had a zipper closure. There are so many wonderful Super totes on Noodlehead's flikr and I love looking at the variety of fabric choices people decide on. The bag has one big pocket on the outside. Because my sister-in-law chose a solid fabric, I was trying to think of ways to dress it up on the side without the pocket. My first thought was to applique some butterflies on it. I was crunched for time, so I decided to put another pocket on other side of the bag. The Super Tote has two big pockets. This may be a terrible decision, I have no idea. I figured a gal cannot have too many pockets.
She said this olive green from the Cross roads is her favorite color. It is denim material.

I'm not sure if the I did good picking out fabric for the lining? I do love the vibrant orange/red from the Cocoon line. And I also love my Bernina that never ceases to amaze me in its ability to plow through the thick double seams. Yeah!!!
