by Linda Theil Alisa liked this tote for its simple and whimsical loop-strap closure, so she bought the "Loop Bag" PDF pattern from Motif Studio and sent me her request. The bag is simplicity itself, and comes with directions for two sizes. We chose the 8x10x6-inch small tote as an experiment to see if we like the concept in use. Not to be confused with the popular "dumpling" or "knot" bag, the Loop Bag features a simple closure using a long loop strap that slips through a short-loop strap to secure the top opening of the tote. We chose a sophisticated palette of two grays from the Tilda "Chambray" collection and a coordinating dot from the Tilda "Chambray Dots" collection for our tote. I have a nice selection of fabrics from these collections in my fat-quarter stash, but had to use two fat quarters for the exterior and two coordinating fat quarters for the lining because I could only fit one pattern piece of each on a single fat-quarte...
Paradox: Even though we're going in different directions we can still walk side by side.
