So I began the search for a coordinating fabric. My stash would yield nothing that matched that pink. It is a difficult color to coordinate with. So off to the store. Lots and lots of pinks...nothing matching. Then I started on other colors that have pink in it and found a really cute brown/hot pink/pink/white print which even fits with the Papertrey style.
Now this was not the most economical project! The bag was just $2. Add $4.50 for fabric, $2 for piping, and 5 hours of my time...but the results are great!
So, what do you think?

OMGosh! I love it!
How completely creative of you! I never would have thought to alter a tote bag (I collect them, too) but then, I'm sewing-challenged.
OH MY GRAVY! I love this! Now you have me thinking about making one too. I haven't used my tote yet because pink just isn't my color. However, pink mixed with another color will be perfect! And quilted to boot! Amazing.
Super tote..
Thanks for leaving me a sweet note!
This is so awesome!!!! I love it!
Hey, Diane!! I just added myself to your Followers. Yours is a lovely blog!! I just love the PTI tote bag that you altered. I'm addicted to tote bags, too, and love making my own. I'm certainly not a quilter but I do love to sew. Your PTI bag is a work of beauty and art. :)
