Noodlehead again
I'm making a large tote for my daughter to carry her supplies back and forth to work (she cuts hair for a living). The best totes around are made by Noodlehead so I'm making her the smaller of the Explorer Totes
I've made this one 5 or 6 times and I always get rave reviews. It's big (but not so big that it's cumberson). It has lots of inner & outer pockets for storage and a zip top so everything stays secure. I like to add swivel hook on the inside so there is a place to attach your keys. I simply hang it on a piece of ribbon and sew that into the side of the lining, letting it hang 1.5-2 inches. Just hook the keys on, zip the tote and when it's time to leave, you'll know exactly where they are. No digging!
My daughter is an animal print fan so I'm making it out of a leopard print for the main body with a cool metallic looking vinyl for the bottom. (I always put vinyl on the bottom so the bag can be placed on the ground without worrying about the contents of the bag getting damp). The handles will be black cotton and the inside is a white and gray neutral. The print is a bit directional and I've cut it in two different directions for contrast. Experiment! I'll let you know how that goes!
Here we go....
