These gorgeous colors made me stop at this pattern and straight away I was rummaging through my (rather substantial!) stash of fabrics, lol! My tote has ended up in a fabulous bold black and white design lined with lime green and I just LOVE the finished item. The pattern is very well detailed so do give it a try you will be as thrilled as I am.

I am so ready for this tote too. I love my totes and as I said before keep them one hand for quick or unexpected gifts. This tutorial is super easy and each one is different in its own way. I like the way the handles are on the outside but never could figure how to make them look polished until I saw how it was turned under. Anyone else know how to finish the straps on outside of tote?
