Finally Finished: The Best Tote Bag Ever!

Here's the front. One zippered pocket and a slip pocket behind that.
Also shown are the two bottle holders on either side.

It's finished! I finally completed my tote made from the 'Professional Tote' pattern from Creative Thimble. I love this bag! It suits my needs better than any other tote bag I've used before. No kidding - it really does. Finally, I have enough pockets for all of my "important" stuff! A place for everything & maybe everything will even stay in it's place! In total there are 5 outside pockets (which includes the two bottle holders on either side) & 3 interior pockets which includes a large zippered center pocket & two others that can be divided into several 'pockets' each. One of the interior pockets is covered & has a velcro closure. I even have a vinyl business card holder on the center pocket - it's great to have my cards so easy to find now. I learned so much by making this pattern- following the directions was almost like having a teacher right there - just well done how-to's & techniques that I am pleased to now be more comfortable with. I highly recommend this pattern! The usual caveat of no affiliation etc etc.....

Here's the back. One slip pocket runs the entire length of the back and has a velcro closure.
The black strap with the shell is for looping onto your luggage.

Looking down on the bag you can see the zippered cloing on the top.
Oops .. I didn't finish zipping it for the photo!

One of the two large interior packets. This shows the middle pocket with the top being held up. It's a pleasted pocket
with a velcro closure. On either side of this is one medium pocket area & an area that I made two pen holders out of.

This shows the zipped pocket that is in the center of the interior of the tote.
