A super helpful basic tote measuring approx 19" x 19" with huge see-through pockets on both sides that are deep and roomy to hold your most essential bits. Inside features MORE see-through pockets on both sides, plus options to make heavy duty webbing straps OR fabric straps. Made with foam interfacing, this tote stands up on its own. I walk you through each step with digitally drawn diagrams, photos, and clearly written instructions. There is a walk-through video link included for extra help if you need it. I use these bags to carry my groceries every week. My daughter uses one for swimming, and one stays in my car at all times with emergency gear (clothing, snacks, jump cables, blanket...)
