The Church Lady Tote

There isn't anything cuter than a tote bag with her coordinating zippered pouch.  I've been making a bag I like to call "the church lady" for a while now, but she recently went through a redesign, wherein I modified the straps and changed the dimensions.  She's a little bit smaller, but more sturdy.  Perfectly for carrying all those things to church, or a picnic, or running errands that we always seem to end up carrying.

The Librarian Tote

It's called "The Librarian" because it's perfect for a trip to the library with the kids to bring home literary treasures.  Or, if you aren't into the library, for an extra bag on a trip, or a day of running errands.  Sturdy, fashionable, and unique.

It's fun to make and the possibilities are endless.  My brain actually explodes a little when I start thinking about all the fabric I've got stashed and all the bags I can make.  Here are a few pictures of the tote.

The dimensions pre-sew are 16" x 18" tall.  Give the seam allowances some room, and you still end up with a great sized bag.
