I love your tote and I don't think it is too childlike at all. I love the black and blue together.

Hardly, childish!

I love it!! I would carry it proudly!! :thumbup:

I love all your totes. I've been wanting to make some. As soon as I finish the baby blanket I'm working on I'm going to try one. I've purchased so many purses that end up in Goodwill because they don't exactly fit my needs. I have a bag from JoAnn's that I'm currently using but no pockets but even though everything is "just in there" I like it much better than any purse I've had. Thanks ladies for the inspiration.

Not childish at all! Sometimes I carry around my purse with "I Love Lucy" pictures all over it! Sometimes we need a larger tote, but sometimes I just carry one similar to yours with my iPad and my little Lazy Girl Magic Wallet (forgot the name).

I don't think that tote looks childish. I'd use it!

I love the dolphin fabric and don't think it's child-like at all. I have some and now you gave me an idea of what to do with it. Thanks.

Everyone here is AWESOME! Thank you for your replies. I feel much better about carrying it now :o)

I carry totes all the time.....more for DH stuff than mine! I make mine using the basic bow tucks pattern, but not adding the ties. The pattern is so versatile and easy to change to suit a particular need.

There is a pattern out there for a "mini" bow tucks pocketbook. I have the pattern but haven't made it as yet as I want to put a zipper in the main opening and use it as a regular pocket book. Love you dolphin fabric. I used that fabric to make my son, who is a nurse, a scrub. He loved the fabric also.
