It's not Wysocki...It's CCL!!

I had a really cute cat quilt pattern so I decided to try my hand at making a tote bag. I had lots of help from the brats but we got everything done but the handle. I will tackle that tomorrow. Now I have an ORIGINAL CCL tote!! (already covered in cat hair!)

My helpers

The finished project minus the handle!

It turned out kind of cute didn't it? I already have the material for the next one!!

It is ADORABLE!!

Great Job!!!

The bag looks very nice, and if you put some on ebay or something I bet they would sell.

I really like the pictures of your helpers. I am sure they made sure that all went well.

Very, very cute, Lisa! Yes, you should definitely make some for sale!

That's adorable. You do really nice work!!

If you put them up for sale can we request specific cat hair to be on it? I think I'd like mine with extra Magoo and Pete hair please.

Very cute bag. Love your helpers

I agree Ebay is the place for more bags.

EXCELLENT!

Wow!! That turned out so nice!!!! How long did it take you to make? I used to sew years ago and found it to be very rewarding and enjoyed the feeling of accomplishment. I think you might have stirred up some old feelings. (goes to dust off the sewing machine)

I agree - you could definitely sell them but would you be able to keep up with the demand? You might have to enlist one of the kitties to help (in addition to supplying the necessary hairs to make it authentic).

My sentiments, exactly!! That bag is delightful!! And I would buy one.

**catnapper** · 07-19-2004, 07:19 AM

That is fantastic!! I love the beaded collar. You could make a fortune selling those!

For the record, I would like one in red with some Pepper Jack hair please.

Awwe thanks guys! I didn't think it was that great but cute. I spent most of the weekend on it but all I had was the pattern for the front cat block. I had to figure out how to do the rest. Now that I have that part done it shouldn't take me as long to make the next one. I hope!
I don't think I want to make these in mass production to sell. I would just like to continue making them in a variety of colors and patterns for fun. Maybe one day if I get a bunch accumulated I might try selling but I would hate to have the pressure of having to do them!
I'm dying to make the next one because I love the materials I got. No hints! I'll show it to you all when I get it done!

Anyone who wants to take a stab at it I would be happy to share my home made instructions!

Or you can wait until I get a whole bunch made and start begging!!

Lisa that is absolutely adorable and I want to make one!!!!! I think I can. You know me and totes - I can NEVER get enough. Please send me the directions - I want one!!!!

I'll get right on the directions for you. It may take me a bit to get them typed up and remember that aside from the cat block the rest is made up by me!

btw-I am a rather small person sort of. What I mean by that is short. I'm only 4' 11" so I look little but believe me I'm not small in the tummy department!!
