Seagrove59 Report post Posted Thursday at 10:11 PM I had previously asked for some help with rolled handles. Here is the tote bag that they went on. My Daughter had wanted a large tote for travelling, market runs, general use. After putting her off for sometime due to other projects, she reminded me she still wanted same. Here is finished project. It is huge and she has been putting it to good use. First time doing a drop in lining. Lots of work and a Kwan’s doing the hand stitching on it but it seemed to turn out ok.

toxo Report post Posted yesterday at 07:58 AM If I was gonna be picky I'd say make the handles a little bigger to go over the shoulder or add a shoulder strap cos when it's loaded it's gonna be heavy. But still a great job. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But still a great job. Thanks but handles were made for that purpose, and to her specifications. Pictures are somewhat deceiving as to size. My daughter is just over 5’7” tall shown here with bag, she has been comfortable with length Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But my heavy duty shopping tote is around a foot or more wide when full and my handles are useless and I'm thankful for the shoulder strap. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Final measurements on it were 15 1/4” height x 22 1/4 “ length x 6”;wide, support straps are under a yard each, handles are around 18” each, then interior pockets and exterior pocket. So a lot. I had alot of it as left overs. Hoping it lasts a lifetime, if not hers at least mine as it took some time to hand-stitch interior and exterior and finish bag.
