Thank you all for the feedback. Many have asked for the pattern. It is the "Patch 'n Go Tote" from McCall's Quick Quilts April/May 2010 issue. I added pockets made using the same method as the Bow Tucks bag but a little deeper. Sometimes I add a loop inside for a water bottle or baby bottle (I have made some as diaper bags). Someone asked how I get the creases to stay: I lightly steam them. I use Pellon 987 iron-on interfacing on both the outer bag and lining. It holds up well through washings. I add a small button inside to back and strengthen the button stitches, makes a nicer finish, too.
