In the midst of the holiday madness I managed to make this for myself. I called it a project tote because I made it with my new hobby in mind: crochet! I looked through various patterns and tutorials and came up with this design. It was such a combination of ideas that I don't know if I'd be able to exactly copy it even if I wanted to. But what's important is that I love it!
I used two fat quarters and since I had enough I decided to add some pockets to hold my phone and other small items like my crochet needles or credit cards.
I made the handles short as I wanted more of a tote look than a bag. I used very stiff (???) interfacing so that it would stand up on it's own. I like to place it next to me or on the floor while I crochet.
Here it is in action! Love it!

Great colors! I like that it stands up so you can see all your crochet tools inside :)
This is really cute and I love the bright colors. I also love that it can stand up.
I have a fabric tote bag that I used to carry my Bible and Sunday School books to church. Or sometimes I'll use it to carry stuff if I have to be gone from the house for awhile.

I love that bag! It would be fabulous for knitting too. I like that it is fairly tall, and stands by itself. No more chasing balls of wool!
