What's in a Bag?

1/28/2014

The large tote bags available in my shop are so versatile, that I thought I would show you how I use mine. One day it's a beach bag, another a farmers market tote, today it's my catch all handbag. Wanna take a peek?

Here's what I'm carrying today. I'll show you some other versions in coming weeks. My bag is made from a tablecloth that I loved, but was stained. The inside is a plain white cotton, though many of my totes are lined with the waterproof PUL fabric.

Does anyone have experience using one?? Share your thoughts in the comments!

My go-to everyday bag.

Inside...

Front pocket--tissues, to-do list, lip gloss, lip balm, hair elastic and Star Wars pens. Of course. Don't you have Star Wars pens in YOUR bag???

Fabric for a morning sewing lesson
Package to take to the post office
Hat and gloves
Wet wipes
Notebook
Business card holder
Tin of Mints
Wallet
First Aid Kit (pretty bird zippered pouch)
More lip balm (it's cold and dry here in the winter!--brown polka dot zippered pouch)



What's inside the small bags inside the big bag?? Take a peek:

I could probably edit this bag. Those Listerine mint things are *awful* (someone gave them to me). The pink ball is an EOS lip balm. Told ya it was dry here in the winter. And I probably only need one tin of mints in my whole bag.

First Aid Kit: Again, could stand to be edited. The white box is band aids and Neosporin. There are some allergy eye drops, more band aids, alcohol wipes, emergency toothbrushes (disposable, I know, but again, someone gave them to me), and the obligatory candy bribes for really bad tumbles or a marathon list of errands to slog through. Why so many band aids? I did mention I have a 5 year old boy, didn't I?




I can sling this bag over my shoulder and go. It's truly my favorite bag!

I live in Bartlett, TN and am a friend of Brenda Uhls...that's how I saw your post. I'm looking for a bag to carry on a plane (I'm going to Italy in May) I need for it to hold my purse, as well as small pillow (baby pillow size), an afghan and a small make up bag. The flight over is 9.5 hours and the return is 11.15 hours so I need to try to sleep some during the long flights. As you might guess I don't want to count this as a Carry on but rather a my purse. I'm very conservative but also an Artist...I love Blue.
Do U have anything that might work?
