Yellow Tote of Happiness

I’m going on a trip soon and wanted a nice carry-on tote bag for the airplane, so I’ve been looking at various patterns online. Once I stumbled upon Noodlehead’s Oxbow Tote, I knew I needed to make one. I used some random upholstery fabric I got from a local supply swap and the best pen fabric around to create this bright and cheery bag!

That is such a cheerful, wonderful bag! I love the colors and fabrics. And best of all, it stands out from the crowd and will be easy for you to find - unlike the bajillion black bags that usually populate the airplane bins.

This had is awesome! Can you share more pictures? :heart_eyes: What did you choose for the lining fabric? Are there pockets inside? Is that a pocket on the outside? :eyes:

That body and strap colors are just the thing with that adorable pen print! And, so easy to spot in overhead bins or atop a roller bag. NICE!

Not going to lie, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a more Kwality bag in my life. The colors work so well together and I really like the scoop of the pocket. Well done!
