Crafty, Crafty! My new tote bag!

I worked all day on Saturday to finish a bag from a pattern that was inspired by A Quiet Little Life and found on www.burdastyle.com. I wasn't sure about my ability to complete this as the instructions were written for someone with a bit more sewing background than I have. But with the good help of Google, I learned how to do a flat felled seam and other such fun stuff. I am very pleased with the way the bag came out. This fits my school stuff quite well and is much more comfortable to carry than the bag I was using. So here are some pictures of the finished project!

My new bag! It is larger than it appears here!

A top stitch around the top of the bag to make it look more finished.

The inside of the bag. Visable seams but they are closed seams and will not fray.

A nice little pocket perfect for a cell phone

 A much larger pocket for pens and such things.
