Hello, Henry Happened readers! Here is a little secret about me – I (Katie) am obsessed with bags. I always have been. When I was a toddler, I was affectionately referred to as “The Bag Lady.” What can I say? I think it is difficult for one bag to fit all occasions. (I say the same thing about jackets and shoes… I see a pattern…). On top of my bag obsession, it is summer time. I am not sure why, but summer always makes me want to whip up some DIY tote bags.
1) Bike Clutch 2) No-sew Diaper & Wipes Clutch 3) Quote Tote 4) Printed Image Tote 5) Minimalist Tote 6) Toiletries Bag
I rounded up some of my favorite DIY bags in varying degrees of difficulty. I haven’t gotten my sewing machine out in sooo long so I might have to start back with the basics (i.e. no zipper). But adding an image to a basic tote bag is easy and fun – I might give it a go soon!
Is anyone else a bag hoarder? It’s okay, you can admit it. This is a safe place. ;)
Hi! i’m from Cancun, México, and I really really loved this bags
I think that i’m a fool for sewing, but in fact i’ll try to do all of them and send some pics of my frankenbags.
Pd. i’m ashamed for my bad english, but i hope you understand me :D

I’d love to see some pics if you make them! and your English is just fine, don’t worry about it!
OMG YES, well… maybe I’m more of a purse hoarder because I used to always thrift them and it’s even sillier bcuz i hardly use most of them. so I should def get more totes, I love these! esp the last few & cant believe they are DIYs, amazing!
well, a good thrift find can never be left behind… :)
#6 is reminding me that I’ve been meaning to learn to sew for a year now and that I won’t have cute things like this unless I sit down and do it!
I would make far far too many bags if I let myself! I’m not usually one for a quote bag…but number 3 kinda got me!
it’s one adorable bag, you bag lady, you!
Yep I’m a bag lady too as well as a shoe freak can’t help myself. LOL
LOVE the bike tote! I need to find some bike fabric!
I know, I’m crazy about it, too!
love these

I know, aren’t totes addictive? Good thing I can’t sew all that well, hah!
I can’t believe #2 is a diaper bag – it’s lovely!
And it’s no sew too – hurrah!!
Thanks for sharing my bicycle bag! LOVE #6 and will have to give it a whirl!
Your clutch is so great -and I’m dying to make my own clutch! That’s next on my sewing list!
I love canvas bags!
Right? I feel like it’s impossible for me to leave Hobby Lobby without buying one :)
I really like #4! What beautiful bags!
Thanks Linds! I’m going to tie dye a tote tomorrow – we’ll see how that little project turn out :)
