Tote bags - An essential item

Received a customized order for a tote bag with no zip or button closure. It was my first attempt and I "bravely" accepted the order. :-p
Read a few tutorials, sewing tips and examine my own tote bag, I slowly fumbled my way to complete it.
My first tote took me almost a whole day just to get it right. However, the end product was endearing and even my husband took a second glance of it. hehe

To date, I have sew about five tote bags and took lesser time for it now. If there is no disturbance, I can complete about two bags in an evening. However, I prefer not to rush for this style due to its meticulous steps.

I am making one for myself too with a matching wetbag... Will post it as soon as it is completed.
