Tutorial: Simply tote purse with zippered top and pockets

by

Martina from Confessions of a Sewing Addict continues her search for the perfect bag, this time with her Simply tote.  She claims that this is still not the perfect bag, though with a zippered top, two large outside pockets, and an inside zippered pocket, it seems pretty perfect to me.  Like her other designs in this series, she shares a tutorial so you can make one.  She’s also giving away her example purse to one lucky reader.  Giveaway deadline is March 18.  Go to her blog for the tutorial and to enter her giveaway.
