Default Military Tote

I made this for my grand daughter using my son's Air Force uniforms. I had fun using the sleeves of his uniform as the opening to the tote, thus the adjustable opening width. I also added pockets that were on the front of the uniform to the front and back side of the tote. Then on the inside I made lots of pockets for all of her treasures. She is only 6 now, but I think it is something she can grow into and continue to use as she gets older. For now she can use it for overnights to Grandma's...if only she lived closer. She is in Washington and we are in California

I just kind of made it up as I went along. I have made several totes before, so had a good idea of how to construct one. Thanks for looking!

I think is a great way to use the uniform and remember what he went through as well, looks awesome.
