I was introduced to the world of sewing by a tote bag.
Ok, maybe not just a tote bag, but a tote bag that I was lucky enough to make with the help of the magnificent Cathy of Miss Marzie and Audrey & Maude fame.

I had such fun making this sexy, quick little number that I've been madly collecting tutorials for tote bags ever since. Of course, like with most of my bookmarked tutorials, I still haven't had a chance to make them! I thought I'd share them with you, my dear readers, instead- and perhaps now the pressure will be on for me to make one.
Oh, Fransson! has this whimsical Margaret Sling bag tutorial:

You'll find this rustic apple picking tote tutorial at Purl Bee:
Qamut has this tote tutorial for those of inspired by bold polka:

Grab the tutorial for this two-tone tote at Whispering Pine:

And finally, MmmCrafts has this gorgeous messanger bag tutorial:

I hope you enjoy playing with these super-simple crafty ideas! As always, let me know if you end up making one because I'd most love to see the result.

Lucky Vicki from Sew Useful Designs shall be receiving the Alice in Wonderland Passport Cover, and runners up Kami, Harley Dee, Ange Moore, Calidore, and Lizzie will receive a bookmark made out of the same fabric.
