I was given a pattern for an expandable bag about a yr ago and have not made one of them until yesterday. I have tweaked the bag some and love how this turned out. We will start out with size small. The small size measures about 13×20.
Ok so now you take your tote shopping and start buying more than you planned. Just unfold some of the top from the inside of the baf and move your handles to the next set of D-links.
Now your bag measures about 20×21 inches or so. Want to shop more? Just move the handles again and your bag is full size.
Now full size it is about 20×25. This is now my favorite tote to put into the car for shopping sprees. I will be making a few more for Christmas gifts. As the pattern was shared with me I will share it with anyone who wants it I don’t know the original designer of this but it was a great idea.
What fun things are you making today?
What a neat idea! This would be great to take to thrift sales. I always run out of bag space. Maybe I should just stop buying so much! 😂
