Two Bags for a Fundraiser

See these two bags?
The yellow one is a reversible tote bag, and I even made another fancy-schmancy reversible and reusable grocery bag.



The bags are going to be auction items or door prizes, for a parent's wine and cheese fundraiser at Elena's school.
I was going to make 2 of the grocery bag inspired bags(the blue/brown bag). The grocery bag took me a little longer to make than I thought.
I got a little tired of making it, I made yet another the reversible tote bag instead. Easy! Fast! Kinda cute! And did I mention easy?

Tomorrow, I'm posting a tutorial on a casserole carrier. I felt bad about people stumbling onto my site expecting a real casserole carrier, only to find my quick hasty carrier tip. So, to make up for that, I came up with a no hassle, easy to make casserole tote - no notions needed, just fabric. I think I fleetingly saw something similar at a craft show; perhaps it was a pie carrier. Only, it was much fancier, with velcro, rings and the works. So, I wouldn't say I ripped-off that idea, but I probably go inspired there. I'll be back tomorrow with that.


edit: If you're interested in how I made the "grocery bag", email me, or leave a comment to let me know. It's a little fiddly, and I do get a little impatient making them, but they do turn out pretty. I may muster up the effort to make one more and show you how I went about making them.
