I did some fun sewing a week and a half ago and made this little 241 Tote for myself.
A while back I had bought a half yard of the Viewfinders fabric specifically to make a tote. It took a while to decide on coordinating fabrics to go with it though. I'm telling you I agonized over this for forever! I finally picked the brown Alexander Heath, the Aunt Edna Houndstooth and the pink Modern Meadow Honeycomb.
This was really a simple and quick project, especially since I didn't add the zippers or sew a handle. I just used some square purse rings and a brown twill type strap (sorry, don't know what's it's called).
I love the magnetic snap to keep it closed!
mle ~ i love that you made the strap this way. that's my one worry with this tote, which i made for my sister... that the strap wouldn't hold up! this idea is perfect - in fact, i first thought it was leather. lovely bag!

Thank you for agonizing over the coordinating fabric selection because I am bout to steal them for my own 241...just love this and have been dreaming of it all week!
