I have a friend that makes these for everyone she knows. I love them because they are so much more durable that plastic shopping bags. They look a lot nicer too. I use mine as a project bag for my knitting and crochet work, but it is also a great bag to take to the library.

This is such a cute idea and I'm,I've that the handles are incorporated as part of the entire overall,pattern for a sleek and easy to grab and go look. You could use one entire piece of fabric or even piece together several,strips of fabric to combine together to make up the entire size. Adapt the oattern to make larger or smaller as needed. These would make lovely little gifts too! Super pattern!

I like how this tote looks. The design is simple yet beautiful. I like the idea of it being reversible as well. I look forward to raiding my fabric stash and make several of these. Wouldn't a smaller size one make for a great bag to carry your lunch to work everyday?
