    Thanks Brenda, I look forward to making this. I was just gifted a Wooly – wooly bag from a dear friend of mine as I’ve started crocheting and it is so well done, so professional looking. Your patterns are the best bag patterns available.
    Merry Christmas to you and your family

      Hi Barb,
      Gosh that was a nice gift to receive, it’ll be great for crochet as well. Thanks so much for the nice comments and I hope you have a very Merry Christmas as well!

    Just watched your video and printed the pattern and instructions. I have some fabric calling to be used in the Gift Tote. This is a wonderful project that will be good for all times of the year.
    It also looks much easier than the other pattern that I used.

      That’s great! This might be a nice project to make for those craft fairs you sell at. Send me pictures of what you create!
