Simple Market Day Tote

A friend requested a simple market tote with short but wide handles and some sort of pocket for the bus ticket and loose change.
I came up with this. The fun cotton fabric is decorator weight, there's a zip pocket inside and she can stick it in the washing machine once it gets grubby, as the reinforced bottom is removable. It measures approx. 14 x 12 x 5.5 inches.
 
handy interior zip pocket:
On a side note: it's best to pre-wash all decorator-weight fabrics to remove some of the stiffness and get rid of the excess dye (usually the case for this type of fabric).

This is a great bag and I really like the idea of a pocket in the bag for change and bus pass. Most totes do not have that and it really helps when you are shopping.

The design of the fabric is great plus making the bag more attractive. I also love the idea of a pocket inside the tote.
