I'll take an easy one, please... after those last two you made me do! Oh, wait... I'm not done with that last one yet! ;(

hehe, i love that range of difficulty. :)
Thanks for the links! I wish I could make the hard one....
I have a cute tute for a fold up version of the easy tote here: http://zaaberry.blogspot.com/2011/05/tote-tutorial-totorial.html
Ruby, that's lovely! Thanks for sharing.
ugh.. the weekender is gorgeous, but it looks like it would berate me and call me profane names
I believe it would. And you would do the same to it.
yay, I love good sewing tutorials.
I checked out Ruby's blog- that looks like a good level for me- Thanks Ruby!
love...love ! Your description of sewing levels for these bags. I will lean toward the easy. Thank You!
I have been looking for a good weekender bag to make. Maybe I'll be brave enough to give this one a try. Thanks!
Thanks so much for including my tutorial in your roundup!
That was great.. I want to try the easy one not the hard one.. :)
If you are interested, I have a easy to make but versatile tote bag tutorial on my blog and "yes' its "orange" :-)

Thanks for the info. Love the ideas.
I made the six-pocket bag -- it's adorable, but wee. My 3 yr old uses it for random toys. If I ever make another one, I'm going to size up the pattern.
Ooooh I like the weekender". Thanks
Thank you for sharing!
i'm digging the weekender! i definitely want to take a stab at it!
I'm lovin' the six pocket tote, but think I'd better start with the easy tote. By the way, I love the way the handles are so easily done on this design. Thanks for the pointer!
I was planning to put my XMas gifts this year in tote bags instead of wrapping them. This is a lifesaver. Thanks.
cool idea so adorable :) Thanks for sharing.
