Default looking for a pattern for a specific tote

I am searching but I suspect I am using the wrong keywords.

I want a pattern for a flat bottom tote that has a hinged frame top, like a doctors bag or a Mary Poppin bag.

I am finding little purse sized totes but not the size I want and I am not confident enough to resize a pattern. I also want the pattern so I don't screw up putting the frame in.

99.5 of you won't know what I mean, but I want it to make a bag for my toy sized dog's obedience scent articles, that will stay open when set on the floor and opened. It will be part mesh for ventilation, and I really want to make a creative and personalized bag.

If anyone knows of a pattern that would work and could direct me to it that would be great!

Use the basic pattern and make the sides and ends equally taller
