Pecan and Black Patchwork Quilted Tote Bag

I was lucky enough to source some beautiful black and white striped fabric.  The stripes go perfectly with the Kona Cotton solids I used for this bag.

 

I would describe the bag as 'commodious'.  There's lots of room plus there are two zippered pockets: one on the outside and one on the inside.  Both the pockets have been lined with some jazzy Mochacino fabric.

The bag is fully lined with plain brown fabric and the straps are brown as well.  The bag is quilted in narrow vertical lines in cream thread. 

The  height of the outer pocket measures approximately 9" and the width is 10½” or 23 cms x 26.5 cms and the inside pocket is about 9" x 11" or 23 cms x 28 cms.   The bag itself measures H17" x W21" or  H43cms x W53 cms.  The straps add an additional 15” or 38 cms.

I've used In R Form foam and this gives the bag extra body so that when you place the bag on a surface in doesn't collapse in a heap.  The strap also has a layer of In R Form foam.  In addition the bag is machine washable on a gentle setting.
