This designer has designed the perfect tote for everyday which is why she has called her bag the Everyday Tote Bag. Her bag has a zip-top closure to keep the bag’s contents secure, and the interior has two pleated slip pockets and a zipper pocket.
When you have finished making the lovely Everyday Tote Bag it will measure approximately 18″ wide at the top, 13″ wide at the bottom, 12″ tall and 4-1/4″ deep.
