Book tote

As you remember I made a tote bag for my husband see post from May 22, 2008. I really liked it, just loved all the pockets. So I made one for myself, using home decor fabric it was a bit thick to sew through but it worked out fine. I used the same book as the earlier mentioned post but I squared the bottom so it would sit up.

I enjoy making things for my family but they don't often need me too.. but my husband commented that since I have gone to fabric bags for shopping there are no bags for him to take things to work in.... well of course I got right on it :) I knew I needed a 'guy' fabric then a simple bag so I used the pattern from the book simple gifts to stitch by Jocelyn Worrall.
