Beth Totillo, of V-CyberSewers FQ, created the pattern for a handy, roomy tote bag sure to please the most determined shopper. She shares it with us here! Make the first one for yourself and then a few more for gifts. The tote is named for Beth's home state.
This project would be a wonderful opportunity to use conversational prints or oversized florals. It would also make up nicely in corduroy or faux suede. The side pockets are a perfect canvas for embroidery or other embellishment. You will find so many ways to interpret this pattern!
