  1. OMG they are all fabulous! I especially love the one with the butterflies and embroidery on the flap. Well worth waiting for the release, they are amazing.

  2. Great pattern! So many possibilities! Everyone did a great job. Love the idea of using embroidery and appliqué to personalize the bag.

  3. Love this pattern Chris and all the testers samples. THey are beautiful! Thanks for allowing me to give it a try………..need to go make some more now 🙂

  4. They all look so different but beautiful. Now I can see why you wanted to do the Photography Contest, there aren’t any people in theses photos, although there are some really cool dummies.

  5. Good luck with your pattern sales Christine. I always enjoy testing your bags and putting my own touches on them. That’s the beauty of making your own bags because you can tweak them to your own needs, like not dividing the outside pockets so that’s it’s one large pocket or diving the pockets in half or in thirds to use as you prefer. Then there are the fabric choices that can make any bag look different.

  6. Thanks for letting me test, I love this bag and it is a great size! You do need an embroidery machine, it’s better than watching tv for entertainment! LOL!

  7. So right Daryl…..you have hit the nail on the head with EXACTLY why I started making my own bags in the first place! 🙂 Thanks again for your help with testing this tote! 🙂

  8. Loved all of them! I too am saving for an embroidery machine. One of these days.
    How does one sign up to be a pattern tester? That sounds awesome!

  9. I don’t how I missed this earlier. Beautiful totes and a lovely blue point siamese kitty!

  10. I love this pattern! It is going to make a great laptop bag that I desperately need!!
    P.S. Your kitty cat is beautiful also!!
