Finished: Tool Tote<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I finally finished the Tool Tote. Now I can just stare at it wondering, a little, what I was thinking.<\/p>\n

Looking at in this photo, it looks great, but I am not sure about actually using it. The Tupperware box I have used forever works fine for tools and is hard. How would I fit this thing into my travel system? On the other hand, it has handles and handles are always a good thing.<\/p>\n

Tool Tote: Zipper Tab with Soft & Stable<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I was almost finished the other day, but I put the zipper tabs on and they just looked terrible. Using Soft & Stable<\/a> in a zipper tab is a dumb idea. I wouldn’t have known it was a dumb idea unless I had done it, though.<\/p>\n

The photo of the zipper tab makes the thing look fine. It isn’t fine, though; it didn’t stay together and on the back the top hem was popping out and looking awful. I also went around the whole thing 3-4 times and couldn’t quite match up the stitching as the whole bag was attached to the zipper tab. The whole thing was a mess.<\/p>\n

\"Tool<\/a>
Tool Tote with new zipper tabs<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I ripped off the Soft & Stable zipper tabs and made some new ones with ShapeFlex<\/a> instead. It worked like a charm and the zipper tabs look a lot better. I changed the fabric used and that helped make the tabs look better as well.<\/p>\n

If you make this bag, definitely make it with fabric for the zipper tabs matching the outside pocket.<\/p>\n

\"Tool<\/a>
Tool Tote: big mouth opening<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I had big plans to make a bunch of these, because of the Big Mouth design. I really like the way it opens up all the way, so you can see all of your stuff. It was a hassle to make and I didn’t think the directions were great. They were very chatty and friendly, but not very useful. I think I might be ruined by the Crafty Gemini<\/a> style of learning. I do know that if I make more I will get better at making them.<\/p>\n

As I said, I am not sure what to do with it. I could get another set of tools and fill the thing and keep it with my guild stuff. Not sure if\u00a0 really need that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
