I made a couple of tote bags for relatives for Christmas, and now I wanted to make one for myself. I combined elements of a couple of different designs I have seen to make my own. I designed it to hold my laptop, notebooks, and a few other items. It has one outside pocket, and two interior pockets. One of the interior pockets has divisions sewed into it to make it useful for pens and such. I also attacked an umbrella pocket to the exterior. The interior of the umbrella has an iron on vinyl coating in case the umbrella is wet when I put it in. All the fabric is from the same batik collection.
