241 Tote - Fully Loaded!

I got my 241 Tote all finished!  Fully Loaded with a bunch of things I added.  Ready to be packed up and go to Paducah!  I bought the 241 Tote pattern from Anna at Noodlehead.  The finished bag above, with extra long strap so I can wear it cross body and not get sore shoulders!

Note 2 zipper pockets on the front, and 2 HUGE side pockets.

Then peek inside the bag!

First off I added the magnet snaps to a moda ribbon, instead of to the lining fabric.  this gives it more stability and is much easeier to fix/replace if it should rip!  And I added a key fob so no digging for my keys!

On one side I added the slip pocket for my cell phone and chapstick - easy access.

And then I added a zipper pocket on the other side to keep anything I want from floating around the bag!

Decided I want simple easy wallets for the trip, so I made these 2 Cash N Carry pouches to go with it.

And of course while I was making those I had to make some fun drink ones for my friends!  Aren't the colors so much fun!  Now if Wednesday would just get here!

The daisy fabric made a nice summery looking tote. I am in the moody to make a tote or some kind of purse. I just need to decide on what style and what fabric. From stash I hope.

I love the way you combined the two patterns into one...I have just bought the 241 chart and am going to try and do the same (though not sure I will be any good at adapting).
Yours is fabulous!
