I told Trudy you and Betsey both sent hugs and she said that is so sweet of you! Trudy's not traveling with us this time. I think she is already regretting not going...the reasons she gave herself is she has been to this part of Fla before and they will be traveling soon to see her daughter's family.
A couple from our church is going with us for the first time. I hope they like it. They spend their summers in Colorado in their RV but have not went on a bus trip before.

I like to be able to sew 'till finish, sometimes doesn't always work out that way though. Thanks for looking.
7628Wonderful fine on the sale fabric. I need to go ck and see if we by any chance have any here.;-)
I agree with others, sweet, nice and thoughtful of your husband to tell you about the fabric.

Yes, he is feeling pretty smug, as I told him how you all are pleased he alerted me. Thanks for looking!
6578Great bag. I also love all your fabric in the boxes so you can see what you have. Enjoy your trip, Hugs

Thank you Shirley and putting my fabric in these clear drawers, is the best thing I ever did for my stash.
52676Love it and the trolley pocket.

I like the trolley sleeve, too. Last time I had to balance everything, as my daughter wasn't with me to help. They bought me some VB for Christmas, so now I don't really need to make me one....unless I want to-lol

Sure wished I was going and staying somewhere for this season. I like warm weather. Sure wished I had a housekeeper also! Lucky you to be able to go and have fun.
18272Love it Toogie!!! Another great job!!!

6257Toogie I think that you have a 48 hour day! you have created a great bag and I love that you can attach it to a case. You have your other half well trained if he buys fabric for you. I just seem to collect screws, nails and what ever is on his list when I go shopping. Obviously need to train my other half in fabric shopping

He knows I can't get out of the store without making a pass through the fabrics, but they had this in a middle isle, between the sporting goods and fabrics. If I am gonna buy some, he'd rather me get a good deal-lol-I'm the one who got it cut, but he did alert me to it. He did however, have it cut and buy the clear vinyl I needed, for the luggage tags a few weeks ago....I just finished another bag and sent my niece the photo. It could be for either man or woman as it is sports related.
11431410294Love your bag, but Oh, My, I really LOVE your boxes of fabric behind the tote. Wish I had room for that so I could see what fabrics I have. Mine are stashed under the bed and in a walk-in closet. "Out of sight, out of mind!"

I have a closet full of fabric too, that I have in bins like you, that's hard for me to know exactly what I do have. I bought those clear drawers a few years ago, when I changed rooms. I really like being able to see and find what I want. Thanks for looking.
5431I'm impressed by the fact that your DH shops for fabric for you. You can build your stash twice as fast. LOL

I laughed out loud, then read to him, as we were on our way back from town. He just smiled, very proud of himself-lol- He 'found' the fabric, because it was in a middle isle at Walmart, close to Sporting Goods! He then told me about it when we met up and I actually had it cut. Today I picked up the rest of it after I saw how well it sewed. Can you believe, clearance for $1.00 yard and was 60" wide! I paid more for the ribbon!
22592You sure are the energizer bunny when it comes to creating such fabulous projects! This is just outstanding and so very useful. Love the flamingo. It looks so "vacationy."

I think so too, so 'Florida' looking. Karen said flamingos, alligators and sun or palm, I can't remember which.Thanks for lQQking!

1529You are a riot!!! Your production quota just boggles my mind. When do you sleep? I love all your ideas and they show up so well in your pictures. You must be very organized to get all this done before your deadline plus all else that is going on with you. I hope you have a wonderful trip and are thoroughly blessed. Avis

Thank you Avis. I wish I did sleep well, but on a good night I can sleep 6 or 7 hours...on a good night. Organized? I haven't even began to pack!-lol

27356Beautiful bag, Toogle...I love Martines idea of the zipper at the bottom (and top for that matter) of the back sleeve when not using for the trolley...
by toogie

You would have to have zippers at both edges, as both are open for handle to slip through. I figure that's too much expense and trouble for these 'gifts', but a good idea for personal use.

Right...zipper at the top and bottom ...then the new Pocket could be open at both ends for the trolley and closed top and bottom for the secure new pocket...but for these "gifts" I know it is too much...but for another time I think great idea...
313835These are great Toogie. I use a bag with a pocket on the side like you've got here on my luggage when I go away and they are a great addition. I like Martine's idea too, it would be a great little 'safe' area! Love Chris
234253Toogie it looks wonderful. I love the colours and the design.
I just had a thought looking at the picture. Would a zip at the bottom of the sleeve be handy to use it as an extra pocket when not on the trolley?
by toogie

May be, but like I told Kim above, you would have to have two zippers as the handle has to slip through both edges. Addition of zippers is too much 'sugar for the candy' so to speak, for these gifts.-lol-Thanks for the idea though.
145191oh my friend, this is gorgeous, I wish I could make me one like it ****************************

You can, not hard at all, just straight sewing. Thanks for looking. Good to hear from you!
60484Toogie, a wonderful tote, a terrific idea to slide over the handles. A great design these will be a hit I am sure. Hope that you are feeling well enough to enjoy your next trip.

I hope so too, Sandra. I just got off the phone with Eraine, my niece and she asked if I had started packing.....not yet!-lol
Thanks for looking at 'someones' tote!
24329Hi to Trudy! The bag is darling. It should be one of a kind! Rest so you will enjoy your trip. Wow - that sleeve is so smart. You have more tricks than Halloween.

lol- you're so funny-
I will tell Trudy. She ask about my Birmingham Cuties all the time. I just cut another bag out, but if I don't get off the pc, I won't get it made!-lol-Thanks for lQQking!
