Project Totebag

Here's a totebag I made so I can bring my carry-a-long projects like crochet, knitting or embroidery with me. It's nice and roomy with plenty of pockets inside and I added one on the outside too. I used an upholstery-type fabric for the outside and the lining is a cute kitty cotton print. I had to make the handles myself because I couldn't find a ready-made pair like the one on the pattern picture. I found some quarter inch poplar wood at Home Depot drew out the shape and my husband cut it out for me. I then stained it. Put it all together and--voila!
