Now, I knew this bag would be large, but it was comically huge when I started putting it together. I'm not sure this will work for a gym bag for my sister unless she is toting small children. We might have to rework the design. The pattern was relatively easy to follow, although it did use a mile of interfacing like all Amy Butler bags. I'm happy with the results despite the fact that it is ginormous. It would be a perfect bag to take to the farmers' market.
Lol! So cute! Just in case she needs to tote small children!
ReplyDeleteIt`s a great bag! Love the fabric and the goodies inside!
ReplyDeleteOh. My. Goodness. I love your pictures! That's awesome you had a small child on hand to demonstrate scale. :D:D
ReplyDeleteHilarious!
ReplyDeleteI made the bag last spring, and feel the same way - my 5 year old could nearly climb in!
Oh, too funny, Kati!!!! You're right, that pattern is ginormous - maybe Amy ought to relabel it as a child carrying bag! I can't imagine that bag as a shopping bag, my arms would get sore from all it could hold! I love that stripey fabric you used, it's so cute. :)
ReplyDeleteEeep, that IS huge! But I'm sure I could fill that sucker up. Love that you put your kids in a bag. I'm sure they thought it was the most fun photo shoot!
ReplyDeleteHa! Thats hilarious! Demon child does look particularly sweet in those pictures though :0)
ReplyDeleteI was thinking of making the large version of the reversible sunday sling bag, I think I will check the final measurements super carefully now!
Oh my! I haven't made that tote yet, but had heard it was enormous!! The resulting pictures you have are priceless though! Love that fabric :-)
ReplyDeletetoo funny...thank you for the morning chuckle! love the baby bag!
ReplyDeletethis just made my morning! I think work will be much easier to take today. Thanks for the smile!
ReplyDeleteThat's HILARIOUS!!!! I just finished the cosmo bag and it too is HUGE!!!!! I did a post in it the other night. It's almost as wide as my.fridge. I'm SOO sticking my daughter in the bag and getting a picture that way!!!! : }
ReplyDeleteNow that is a picture that would put a smile on anyone's face.....
ReplyDeleteHilarious, Kati! Think of all the things you could smuggle in that bag...
ReplyDeleteGreat fabric!
That is adorable! I made a tote bag that can also hold a child! It's great for carrying quilt projects in!
ReplyDeleteADORABLE!!! I do not know which I like better, the bag or the cute baby :)

ReplyDeleteLove the bag,but love more the "grocery" inside!!! lol
ReplyDeleteThat is belly-laugh funny -- feels good -- thanks!
ReplyDeleteOh how much I giggled at this! Lovely (if, and you're right it is absolutely ginormous!) bag ... great pics!
ReplyDeleteSUCH a cute bag and the cutest model ever!!!
ReplyDeleteYou've just invented a new toddler carry bag - genious! Jxo
ReplyDeleteHahahhahaa - it took me a second glance at the first pic to realize that there was a child in there! I need this bag to entertain my own toddler. Love the colors. Thanks for sharing with us...
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun post. You're so right about the size. I made a lot of these bags already, they make really great gifts, but I made mine smaller from the beginning. Just seeing how huge the pattern pieces were made me decide to go smaller and I love how they turned out.
ReplyDeleteWell it looks like a great bag, and you couldn't have taken any cuter photos!
ReplyDeleteThe tote is usefull and pretty but .... the baby is super adorable!
ReplyDeleteHaha! Now I don't feel so bad for accidentally making a bag that my child fits in either. Oops!
ReplyDeleteOh, that is too cute. And personally, I think all bag patterns should be required to include a photo of an average-size person toting the bag, so that we can get a sense of its size!
ReplyDeleteLove in a bag!....too cute!
ReplyDeleteokay, spill: what's that stripe fabric? LOVE.
ReplyDeleteChuckle. What a good way to give it scale - it is seriously huge!
ReplyDeleteBa ha ha ha - I love the photos to show scale. Toddler Tote! I also lurve IKEA home dec fabric. Best deal in town.
ReplyDeleteNow tell me who is going to carry it after its filled.
ReplyDeleteSuch a cutie!
ReplyDeleteSerious cuteness over there. I just got a bag as a gift and i was wondering if little Zoe would fit in it. It was huge too. Not only did you think it, you took a picture of your little one in the act. Love it!!!
ReplyDeletelol I cracked up when I realized there really was a child in there! Love the fabric you chose. That is a large tote indeed but it looks great!
ReplyDeleteAll AB bags seem to be super big! I wonder if it's because she's 6 ft tall and makes things to fit the scale of her body.
ReplyDeleteI can't stop smiling, those pictures are great! I think it will make a great gym bag ... then again, just think of what you could sneak into the movies with that thing!
ReplyDeleteAdorable! It took me a minute to see the little one in there. Such fun!
ReplyDeleteSo funny, I would have been tempted to put a zip on it too though!
