You'll learn to made an outside pocket and how to gusset the bottom corners, along with a really easy way to deal with handles and linings. And you can make it in a ton of sizes - the second picture has a 15x15 bag body. :)
My mom said she'd like a tote bag made out of something sturdy like denim, with a front pocket - something big enough to take to work and carry everything she needs. She works a half hour from home so she carries more stuff and needs a bigger bag!
This project uses demin from my grandmother's fabric stash, but the lining is from mine. I think that makes it a little more special. :D

Thanks!!
You just need to pin the straps below where you'll be sewing through all layers of the bag. Just to make sure there's no shifting. :)
I normally get my fabric at Hancock Fabrics because they have a TON of sales and a really big remnant section. :)
