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!
Wow! This bag is the perfect blend of style and function. That pen fabric is amazing! ![]()
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.
Fantastic! The bright pink is very cheery!
I love the colors. The bright pink and that orangy-yellow are amazing! I also love the style. That pen fabric is pretty cool too!
Absolutely stunning!
Oh my gosh, I’ve never thought of using upholstery fabric for a bag, but that’s genius. I love the colors too.
This had is awesome! Can you share more pictures?
What did you choose for the lining fabric? Are there pockets inside? Is that a pocket on the outside? ![]()
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!
Ooh! It’s VERY cheerful! Great work!
the zipper is the crowning touch! I am always afraid my open tote is gonna spill all over when traveling
(oh, and that pen fabric! mwah! the whole project is simply FAB!!)
P.S. I just noticed the SHOULDER STRAP!! outstanding for air travel!!
This is sooo cute! Yes, it will definitely be a standout on the plane, and I bet you’ll get lots of compliments from fellow travelers as well!
Oh, hello there! Your amazing craft is one of this week’s Featured Projects!

Oh my gosh, too cute! Love the colors!
I love this color combo! That pink is such a pop of brightness against the yellow and blue. And that upholstery fabric is perfect for this!
Thank you, everyone! I’ll add some more photos when I get home from work tonight!
OMG!!! YOUR SKILLS ARE AMAZING (Yes, I’m shouting)
And the color combination makes it even better
This color combination is everything!
You are so wonderfully talented. Congrats on being a Featured Project!
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!
