Excellent! I would also use the simple interior pocket method vs. their "pleated" pocket with flap. While I loved doing ALL of the techniques...one really can get away with going back to tried and true methods used in other bags. I also used Soft & Stable on the outside pieces for stability and shape. great job!

I love it. The professional tote is my favorite.I also switched the drawstring on the end pockets to elastic. I couldn't find pretty colored cord locks for them and the price of cord locks is crazy. None of the jackets in our house have cord locks as I cut them all off to use on my totes. Then I got the idea of elastic.

I took a class to make this tote , the instructor also had us so the elastic for the side pockets. I made one for travel and one for a diaper bag for my daughter in law. The one thing I did do is have my fabric quilted by a LA gal before cutting my pieces for the bag. Its still my favorite bag....

I would just Google "Professional Tote pattern" - - I did that and came up with several sites. I'm not sure if it's allowed that I post something like that on the board but a few that came up were Annie's, E-Bay, MSQC......it's an awesome pattern!
