The Garden Tote

I made my sister a garden tote for her birthday.  She just took up gardening and loves purses so I found some all weather fabric for pretty cheap and used This link from JCaroline Creative as a guide.  I decided to modify the pattern but use the tutorial as a guide on how to put the thing together.  I wanted her to have outside pockets to store her tools and then the lining would be waterproof so she could fill it with plants or whatever.  Anyway- here it is.  I'm actually quite proud of it despite the fact that my side pockets don't match up with my front pockets, which totally annoyed me at the time.

It's actually quite big so I hope she can fit lots of stuff in it.  I didn't realize until after I had attached the sides that the fabric was mismatched.  LOL.  But the outside is a heavy duty upholstery fabric and the inside and the pockets are a waterproof outdoor fabric.  I think I should have added some bias tape to the top, so if I make this again, I might do that.
