U Create With Me!!

I follow a wonderful blog called U-Create and this month they have this really great "Create with Me" this month!! Check out this adorable bag!!! It's called the "Tohoku Tote (Version2)" and I just LOVE my new bag!! I had to hop onto the Nautical bandwagon and get some navy and white stripes in my life. In the picture, the bag looks little but it's actually a pretty good size tote!
I even added a few pockets with left over stripes! One side of the tote has a double pocket and I didn't want it to waste so I added one pocket against the front. 

Now, this project was NOT easy, especially since I'm a new sewist. But if you're seasoned, it should be cake. Also, I had a lovely distraction every few minutes so it did take me a few days week to finish it. TOTALLY worth it!! I'm thinking about posting my own tutorial about how I made it but the one attached to U-Create is pretty good, especially if you know what you're doing!

Also, here is a picture of my lovely distraction!
