Land's End Tote Bags

14 years ago

Land's End is having a terrific tote bag sale. The medium size is only $12.00. Terrific size for gals that need to take a bag along. Free shipping, too. I just ordered 8 of them with a $5.00 monogram printed on them. With tax it was $145.00. These make wonderful gifts for teachers and such.. Great quality....... Just thought you might like to know..

I love Lands' End tote bags! I have close to a dozen of them. They're great for keeping various knitting projects in. I always take an empty medium or large size tote when we travel because they're perfect for all of the little odds and ends that you accumulate along the way. :-)

Ouch, $12.00 for a canvas bag...

I don't have a single one that cost that much. Most of mine came from goodwill stores, some from grocery stores, and two from Korea (my daughter brought them with her, for me).

I keep thinking of making some like Flamey did a couple of years ago, even purchased fabric for them....

Someday, I might get around to it. :)

Along with EE's heirarchy, the first step is to produce less waste. Meat - there's not much of it in my house. I used to be a hard core carnivore but somewhere along the line I lost my taste for it. Any meat scraps and bones go into a bag in the freezer for eventual use for making stock. After that, it goes in the trash. It may be going in the landfill but it's quite biodegradable. If you keep a hot compost pile you could compost it. Dairy - I can't recall the last time I had a dairy leftover unless it was the rind off brie, and that's edible (I just don't like it). Bread - Again, not a whole lot of waste here. Stale bread is good for making croutons or breading or soaking in gravy. Crumbs go in the bin. Moldy bread can go in the bin, too, just not too much of it. If your bread is getting moldy you've got a supply problem, not a waste problem.

Same thoughts here toomuchglass, just not impressed with the site or the rules or the prize. I wish much good luck to those who are going to try. Most dis-likable rule for me......All entries are considered "work for hire" and become the property of the sponsor........ there by can be used without any compensation at all. Hmmm I wonder why they wont pay designers to do this instead of a lame prize contest for the working ideas of hundreds if not thousands of people? I design and make tote bags all the time and give as gifts to friends and family. We go thru a lot of totes around here. I can't see my designs being sold for profit by anyone else if they wont pay for the work my brain power provides. I like the fact my totes are one of a kind designs, It makes them special to the folks who are getting them. CT

Me, too, Jenni! This one is as cute as a bug's ear! I just love the happiness you sew into everything. You should go into business doing custom purses/totes. Each one would be different so you couldn't get bored! I'll order a flamingo at the beach one! Margarita in hand, of course. Or I can add that, if need be!

One colour bottom and middle colour tote bag
Q
Comments (1)
Make it all the color of the top and bottom. Sew your middle color over on the center. Measure where you want it down from the top. Turn and press the middle piece 1/2 inch under on top and bottom and stitch with a double seam like you see on jeans. Then sew up the sides matching the center seams. If you want a flat bottom. Turn the bag inside out, match your side seams with the center of the bottom and pin it across making a triangle, then stitch across from side to side. The strap can be strapping you buy at a fabric store or made from your material. If you make it from your material, back it with heavy interfacing. Sew it together and turn it out the right way--the rubber end of a pencil can help with this. Keep the seam at one side of the strap and stitch in 1/4 inch on both sides. The straps can start at canter bottom and go all around the bag. Overlap on the bottom by a few inches. Sew the strap on on both sides of the strap. Following the stitching lines already there if you are using material. I suggest you do some measuring to make sure the strap is the right length. A heavy card or plastic covered in your lining material will keep the bottom flat. I hope this helps If you have trouble post again and I'll try to help

Moni, they're more than just a plain canvas bag. All but two of mine have the zippered top. All of them, even the open top bags, have pockets inside that are great for holding and organizing stuff. They are made from a very sturdy canvas and have very strong seams. And they hold a LOT!

You can go into a Sears store and find the Lands' End canvas bags, and judge them in person.

I don't have a Land's End tote, but I do have an L.L.Bean tote. And if it is anywhere as close to the thickness and quality of my LLBean, that IS a really good price.

These are no flimsy canvas totes. They are stiff... stand upright, thick canvas. My sewing machine isn't tough enough to sew through it. I've had mine for years and it looks brand new!

They are nice, sturdy bags and make a great gift. Free shipping is terrific. And don't forget, if you get something from LE that you want to return, it can be returned at Sears saving return shipping as well. Good deal!

Like I said before, I've got about a dozen of these in various sizes. Bear with me, because I'm going to post two photos -- one shows the size differences of the open and zippered top totes, and the second photo (it's gonna be a long one) shows the various different totes with the sale prices. Although that photo is looooong, it is actually kinda small, so you might not be able to easily tell the prices (depending on how the resolution of your monitor is set), but at least you'll be able to see the various styles. Go to the web site (or to a Sears store) to really check them out.
