I was in the need of a new tote, which is often the reason why new projects come into being. This bag is the perfect size for me, at 12"x16", so big enough to fit my A4 documents, water bottle and everything else I need for my day, without it being too large and cumbersome to carry. This bag has a needle-turn applique image on the front which is finished with a ric rac border. The back of the bag boasts a pocket, and the gussets and base have an interesting pieced finish with ties to gather the gussets a little, and finish it off perfectly.
