I bought Crafty Gemini's Must Have Tote Bag Pattern and made several. I it costs about $3.00. She has a video that you can log into that shows you how to make the entire bag and how to do french seams. The tote bag is not lined but it's a nice tote bag for groceries or library books. It will give you a simple start into bag making.
Here's the link.
