I have made 3 of these totes, the first two were given away in swaps. With this last one I took progress photos and wrote down measurements, and I'm going to keep this one. Photo heavy post! And some photos were taken at night, sorry about that - but that is when I can sew and when the progress photos get taken. Here are the other two totes I made with the same process This is the front of one This is the back of another The front of the one above Here is the finished tote for the tutorial…

Happy Thursday! Today I have a finished new tote bag using my Workshop Tote Bag Pattern to share and some shop news too.
