I made these bags for Nancy, who is using one bag for carrying things to work ( a small purse , her lunch, and book ), and the other bag for her gym/workout clothes.
I am going to post my Anita Vacation Totes in Amy's flickr group " Amy Made That! and So Did I " , where you can see some other beautiful totes ! Come on and make one for yourself this summer.... you know you've been wanting to make something for yourself!
