Default CarolynMT and Everyone I Made a Tote Bag
It's my first try and I did not put handles on it. I just wanted to see if I could design one and complete it. These are the colors I would use if I were designing a tasteful one piece bathing suit, with the stripes going from one shoulder to the opposite hip.

The bag is just about a foot wide. I was not thinking of a specific size so it just turned out like this. I put a school composition book in it, and it fits great. I do not know if you can see the dolphin that I machine quilted on the front. Hope so.
