My New Tote Bag

I just finished a tote bag that I love!! First off though, let me say that I cant take credit for the idea. As I have mentioned, I recently took up crocheting. While reading about it online the other day a woman mentioned wanting a tote bag that had grommets at the top for yarn to feed through and not get tangled. What a great idea!!! And the smoke instantly started to pour from my head. lol

With this idea running around my mind I did what any quilter would do---- I made myself a quilted tote bag. With grommets! I made it nice and roomy to hold a good amount of yarn and projects. I also added a pocket to the front to keep my crochet hook roll and scissors from hiding at the bottom of the bag. Then I added 6 grommets (3 to each side) along the top of the bag to feed the yarn through. All in all I'm very pleased with the out come and my bag is already full of yarn and ready to go. :)

    My word, that's a big bag! But the grommet idea is a great one!

    Great bag to carry everything. I like how the pocket really stands out with the rest of the fabric. Nice :)
