This is my favorite tote for daily use. I carry my necessities in it. It is vinyl lined so I can wipe it out. I use it to stop and pick up a few things. Carry small things in the front pocket, and take out things I carry to work put them on the seat,,,,, get a few groceries after work... put my things back on top of the few groceries I buy on the way home...
This is double sided quilted fabric I had left over from making my mom a jacket.... Made a pocket by taking a piece and putting double folded bias tape around the edge... then topstitched one of the many characters I have here for pockets then sewed the pocket onto the middle of the fabric I had cut out for the tote front,
Made my tote bag outside...Made my tote bag vinyl inside bigger in depth so I could fold over the top edge top edge and topstitch. Then I cut out two handles out of the leftover side strip of vinyl..Folded them in top stitched them Leaving them open at the bottom edges so I could attach them by a squared off bottom of the handles and stitched in a square.
My next set of totes are my ancestry totes
