This is the Hot Patterns pattern for the tote bag I’m making.

Here is further work on the lining:

On the lining piece on the left, you can see the pleated cell phone pouch and decorative stitching between that and the rest of the pocket. On the lining piece on the right, you can see the zipper pocket. As of right now, the lining is all done and together.

And here is the front and back of the tote, starting to come together:

The handle is together, and I started applying the rivet-studs (but I had a problem with that…difficulty which I would change in the next version of the tote).

I suspect I can probably put the bag together tonight, and maybe get the lining in tomorrow, provided I don’t have any additional problems. I don’t know how much I’ll use this one, but I like the pattern well enough to change up the colors and try it again in the future.
