She said that the ink on the bag is NOT colorfast and will “run like mad if they get wet” – to the point of her not even using them in the rain. I love the idea of the tote, and would be willing to make it, but only after seriously putting it through the washer a few times. Still, I love the idea – maybe if I can get the ink issue resolved, it will be a great holiday gift next year!

have fun!
