Super Tote + Melody Miller + Carolyn Friedlander

 

I’m excited to show you this version of my upcoming pattern.  I’m calling it the Super Tote, well, because, ha, I think it’s super. Plus the fact that it’s super sized.  Cheesy I know!  Sorry, you’ll just have to put up with me.

This was the second version of the tote.  It’ll be mine, oh yes it will be mine.  I didn’t add the interior pockets on this one, I was busy checking sizes and proportions, but I think this bag will see it’s way to the pool and for schlepping around to and from work.  It seems like I always have a ton of things to carry to and from work.

I’m thinking the pattern will be ready for sale next week!  Just awaiting feedback from some testers.  I’m also hoping to get some kids clothes sewn this week too, crossing my fingers!!!

  9. I can hardly wait!! I’d love to be on your tester list. As a long-time quilter/sewist, I still get stumped on bags. So if you are ever looking for a bag-making novice, I’m the one…

  11. Oh, wow! ‘Lovin’ that bag! -Marci @ Stone Cottage Adventures

    I absolutely love this bag. I’m so glad you’re keeping this one – it’s fantastic! I can’t wait to buy the pattern – I’ve already ear-marked some AMH feather linen for it!

  13. Jamie says:

    I adore this bag! It’s so hard for me to buy purses when I know I can make cuter ones. I do have one question: Do you think this bag would make a good diaper bag? I’m not loving the options in the stores because they are either super bulky, weird patterns, or too expensive.

  14. marysza says:

    this bag is AWESOME!! can’t wait to see the pattern, I sewed a lot of simple bags, but never sewed in a zipper like this one. i am sooo curious how to do it!!!!! 😀
    great matching of fabrics!! :O

  19. Julie says:

    Just wanted to say I can’t wait for the new pattern – it’s just the kind of big bag I’m looking for!
    I made the Madras Summer Tote the other day and was blown away by the results. Thanks for such a pretty and easy to use pattern – as a novice sewer it means a lot!

  32. gret says:

    Oooh, I really love the shape and detail on this one Anna. Fantastic. Looking forward to trying it out. Nice work!

  33. Love the tote and the size. So many times the totes are not large enough for all the “stuff” we absolutely need to drag along with us. Nice job.

  34. Janice says:

  39. Kylie says:

    I’ve been waiting for this one since the first glimpse of it! I love the shape of it and have been looking for a bag to use as a weekender that won’t kill me to make it. Working on a Sidekick Tote right now which I love and can’t wait to start using 🙂

  40. Carrie S. says:

    I can’t wait for this pattern! It looks fabulous!

  41. this “inset” zipper looks even easier than the sidekick… yippee!

    Ooh, impatiently waiting for this pattern! Love it Anna!

  48. Eva says:

    Beautiful! I was sold on this already with the last version, but this is one I love even more! I’ve got a yard of that exact same fabric hoarded away for a project just like this!!! 🙂 And why be needlessly modest, if a bag is super, call it super!! 🙂 😉

  49. Elsa says:

    Love the bag ~ can’t wait!

  59. Bernie says:

    If you are EVER looking for a pattern tester I would love to be one! I love your creations.

  60. i really need a big bag with handles long enough that i can throw it over my shoulder. this looks like it will work. can i ask what the dimensions are? i think i need to start picking out fabrics…

  61. YES! Those fabrics together are tdf. Looks like the perfect carry-all bag for us mamas. Nice job Anna!

  62. i’m not usually a bag pattern person, but you’ve won me over again! looks like it would be a great size for a nappy bag and i LOVE your zipper tops! great work anna 🙂

  63. Jane says:

    The bag looks great! I love your fabric choices!

  64. sherri says:

    LOVE LOVE LOVE! Your bags are always amazing! I’m excited for the zipper, it would be great to learn how to do one of those! sherri(at)threadridinghood(dot)com

  65. eek love it Anna! Such a great design xo

  66. lastdogz says:

    I would definitely buy this pattern. It would be a purse for me, though, because I feel the need to haul my life around with me. I must, must, must have an exterior pocket and some way to close the top, so it’s not always dumping over in the car. It looks a little over my skill level, but I’m willing to give it a try. Great fabric picks, by the way.

  67. Kelly O. says:

    I’m excited about this pattern Anna! you make everything seem so easy and doable and with your patterns, it really is!

  68. Lydia says:

    Wow! Another great pattern by Anna! Great bag! Haven’t looked in awhile and just catching up on all your latest creative & wonderful creations! Miss you guys!

  69. Bubiknits says:

    waiting for the pattern and I’m going to buy along with others in your shop i really like
