I have plenty of totes at home, but really none that were actually cute without company logos on them. I've wanted one I could take binders/laptop/books to church with. I happened upon some soft vinyl and fun black/white cotton designed material in the fabric store a while back that reminded me of a cute bag my sister made. I had her show me how she did it and took a couple days while my husband was out of town to sew up this beauty.
