Fall Tote Bag

It is rare that I A.) sew for fun and B.) end up making something I actually like and will use.  Last Sunday I spent a few hours (like 4-5 total, not a quick project) on this nice, big tote bag.  I bought the fabric a couple weeks ago just because I really liked the pattern.  Then, when I got the sewing itch, I bought a Simplicity pattern (see below) on sale for $1 to make a new bag for the fall.  I think the extra details of the bag (the pleats and the band) made it really special and worth all the work. I've been using it for a few days now and I love it!  It doesn't have any pockets, but I organized my stuff with a zippered makeup bag, wallet, and a couple totes for Luke's things.

Love this button I found!
