Cheery Mod tote

Cheery Mod tote entry, omni-crafter category of the tote challenge.
The cheery tote is made of fabric from Amy Butler's midwest modern collection. The outside fabric is pleated, topped with a bright green band. The lining is a soft faded blue gingham. The zippered pocket panel is turquoise with a faded floral pattern. Another pocket is a soft yellow flannel. A lot of fabrics, and they actually work together! A clasp attached to natural cotton twill lets you keep your keys handy. (A tiny elephant is appliqued to the outside of the bag, but the photo doesn't show it at all, rats.... I'll try to add a photo that does the elephant justice.)
Why the cheery tote should win in the omni-crafter category? Because it's cheery!

Play Ball: This category celebrates the most inspired use of yarn. Be it by stitch, loop or some other daring technique, show us just how far some skeins of yarn can go when put to the challenge.
All That Glitters: You'll have to get your bling on for this category, for we are looking for the most spellbinding use of embellishment. Think: eye-catching, head turning, and Va Va Voom WOW!
Eco-Chic: If you are an ardent recycler or a master of innovation (or both) this category is for you. Make a tote bag out of the brilliant use of recycled, or unconventional materials.
The Omni-Crafter Special: If you are the lucky challenge hopeful who simply can't decide which one of your crafty passions to employ, try all of them. This category challenges you to make artful use of as many DIY talents you can get into the making of one awesome tote.
