I have been annoyed at the tote bag that we use to haul all the kid stuff to church. It's just so basic and floppy and I could no longer stand it. I wanted a tote that had stiffer sides so that it would stand open while Aile rifled through it, and one that was big enough to put the grown up stuff (and coats and hats, etc) into, and I wanted it to be reversible too. I looked online and found lots of different patterns for lots of different kinds of totes, but not the one I had locked in my brain.

So I made up my own pattern and here's the result. I have a sew-on snap I've still got to sew on, but other than that it's finished. What do you think?
