På Quiltelaup Tote Bags

I made my first tote bag with this pattern -  "På Quiltelaup" by the Norwegian designer AnnAKa - about 10 years ago. I've made a dozen of these bags altogether - so I suppose this has to be my absolute favourite tote bag pattern! Although the instructions are in Norwegian, I just follow the excellent diagrams that this pattern has! Norwegian patterns are considerably more expensive than any others I've bought, but considering how many times I've used this one, it's been well worth every single penny! (If you click on the individual pictures, you can see an enlarged picture of each bag). Not all of these were for me - several have been gifted to some very special friends and family!
​*patterns by the Norwegian designer are only available from Scandinavian countries - the instructions are written in Norwegian, but this pattern has very detailed illustrations - maybe it's time I made another one!
