Small Book Bag

Tote I made this week. Simplicity 5435 It's a small tote bag..I'm trying a few fabrics so I can make this bag in a bigger size...the stiffer fabrics seem to work better. My teacher sister wants a book bag/tote for school. I like the easy pattern. It is a cute style that only needs minor altering. I added 2 extra pockets on this small blue one. I'll need to make hers bigger, with a pocket to fit an ipad, use a stiffer fusible or a fleece to add padding on the ipad pocket, and of course, find the right fabric, longer handles. blue bag Green bag was made last year and given away to my sweet Aunt. green bag
