Tutorial: Faux leather shopper tote

Sew4Home shows how you can make a faux leather shopper tote like this one. A shopper is a larger size tote with a wide top, no closure. You can carry it on your shoulder or in your hands. Their version is made from a faux leather, and includes a ribbon tie as an optional closure. A big faux leather bow is pretty tied around one of the handles. Pockets on the inside will hold your phone and other devices.
