Since I've been going to Open Sew with some friends, I decided I could use a sewing machine tote. I got it with some discount gift cards at Quality Sewing. Then, of course, I needed a project tote with a trolley sleeve. I had a little fabric left from my mini iron tote, so I used it, together with some other fabric that I purchased. I got the bag pattern from Etsy but changed the size, the construction of the straps (thanks to Vanessa, The Crafty Gemini), and added a water bottle pocket. I used a heavy foam batting which helps make the sides stand up, but was very cumbersome to sew the large main pattern piece. I did some ruler work quilting on the trolley sleeve, but just straight line quilting on the body of the tote. 

Once the tote was completed, I decided I should have a small project bag with a clear vinyl side, so I used some of the fabric scraps for  that. I found several free tutorials for reference.

Note my creative design element in
putting the zipper at the bottom of the bag. LOL

And lastly, I put binding on this little scrap from the
trolley sleeve to make a little mug rug.
