Simple tote bag

Made for a friend, this tote bag is perfect for everyday use.  I fell in love with this fabric at Joann's while I was looking for some sales.  This fabric is from the quilter's showcase line and happened to be on sale for $2.50 a yard.  The total cost of this bag came in around $1.05.  So for that price I picked up more prints of the quilter's showcase fabric and plan to customize each bag to make everyone I give away a little different.  For this bag I personalized it with the first letter of her name and added some offeset pink blocks to the straps for a bit of color.  The basic tutorial can be found at www.skiptomylou.org.  I hope you use the tutorial and then make it your own!
