Copy That - Inspiration from Coachtopia Part II

 

This is a quick photo of the progress on tote number two.  No quilted fabric for this version.  Just a bright pink animal print.

Stay turned for details on how I made this version.

Copy That - Inspiration from Coachtopia Part I

It has been quite sometimes since I made a "Copy That" project. Today I decided to “reboot” the segment on my blog.  I’ve already made a few posts on Facebook and Instagram. 

Anyway, a dear friend of mines, drew my attention to a new product line under the Coach umbrella called Coachtopia.  Her cousin is actually the head designer for Coachtopia.  It is a fresh, youthful spend on classic designs.  One of my favorites is the Cloud tote.  It is a quilted tote bag that is big enough to carry a laptop in it.  

Some time ago, I downloaded the "Made Everyday Reversible Bag".  I made several for gifts.  I have yet to review it on my blog.  It is super easy to make.

So, I used the reversible bag to create my first Cloud tote inspired bag.  This first version is not perfect.  The straps are too wide and can easily slide off the shoulder. 

My second version is already in the works.  I made it with lightly thinner straps and a longer body in hopes of  copying the shape of the Cloud tote.

Stay tuned, More later.
