here is a peek inside so you can see the lining and pockets (I made an extra one)
and key fob....which I've already used.
I am really pleased at how well it turned out....the best part is that I had the fabrics in my stash! I couldn't believe my luck that the two matched so well.
I used the "All In 1 Tote" pattern out of this book...Simple Sewing
here is what the tote looks like in the book
The only thing I had to do differently was shave a bit off the size of the lining to accommodate the thick interfacing. I just did a 1/2 seam allowance instead of 1/4....easy peasy!

I think that your is so much cuter then the one in the book. Good for you, making something for you is ALWAYS important!
Easy peasy because you know what you are doing. My mom sewed clothes for me when I was little, but I don't once remember her offering to teach me how to sew. I learned to crochet from my cousin when I was about 20. And to cross-stitch from a lady I worked for in high school. After all these years, I am certainly thankful to those teachers. What would I do without crafting? :) Hope you are having a great week. Tammy
Hi Val
The bag is GORGEOUS. I adore the fabric. You are so clever.

Love it!! And your bag for sure is much cuter :)
It's awesome! the fabrics look great together.
I love that tote - the fabric you used is lovely Val:-)
Stash projects are the best ...... a little bit of something for nothing:-)
Great job - love your fabric choices.
Awesome! I haven't sewed anything for the After Christmas Sew Along yet...good grief!
Such a cute bag (I'm ignoring your post about Christmas making... I'm not ready for that sort of crazy talk yet: I felt proud of myself when I started preparing for Christmas at the end of November last year. I think that's probably about my limit if I am to stay true to my procrastintor self)
I love it....especially the fabric you used...I like it way better than the one in the book. if I meet the author, I will tell her that.
