So these are my favorite ever. I love these dry oilskin Quarry Totes! When I was busy making samples for my new Quarry Tote pattern, I had to make these of course! I love how the dry oilskin works for this pattern. It’s nice a lightweight fabric with structure and still easy enough to sew with.

Dry oilskin paired so nicely with the waterproof canvas for the lining. Seriously, if I could recommend a combo to start with for the Quarry Tote, this would be it! No need to interface either fabric and it makes for such a cute tote. Lightweight, but yet stands up nicely when empty. Partially because of the shape of the bag, but also part due to the fabric combo.

Sporty Vibes

I think these are such a sporty look that I’m loving lately! It definitely is giving a hint of classic leSportsac vibes in my opinion. Especially with the all black zippers and webbing. I got the black zipper by the yard and coordinating pulls from Zipper Zoo a while back! So adorable with my leather decorative zipper pulls that I add as a finishing touch! For the Quarry Tote I really like coordinating the zipper tape color to the webbing color. I think it adds nice continuity without looking too much.

Plus, check out the cutest spot for these labels! Perfectly imperfect is my mantra.

Don’t forget the Zippered Pouch!

And let’s not forget about the adorable coordinating zippered pouches! Yep, don’t forget the Quarry Tote pattern comes with a zippered pouch to sew, too. And it’s a real cutie if I do say so.
