Not to hard to do at all. I used Simplicity 9963 pattern for the actual bag design. I took away the picture pockets, and made it reversible by sewing along the edges on both sides, added the loops and buttons. I also alter the pattern to make a smaller tote, put in a quilted lining and add pockets. Most of my friends and family got a tote for Christmas last year.
