I have made this tote many times. I just love it. I use one as a brief case daily. I did change the interior of the bag. I added different lines to the inside pocket so I could have an area for the cell phone, pen & anything else. I also added a clasp on the side so my keys stopped having a party at the bottom of the bag. I get many complements about the bag. i have also donated them at work & we filled it up with stuff for a raffle.
