I think this bag is totally omni crafty! 1st, I hand dye all the fabrics - both cotton duck and dyer's cloth. Each piece is lined with batting and interfacing to help with structure. Then I applique a little art quilt to use as the front and back panels. This tote is designed to hold all my important things: it has a cell phone pocket right where I can reach it, 2 divided patch pockets to hold pens, a wallet, a checkbook and sunglasses, a zippered pocket to hold secret things, and a key leash so I don't lose my keys!
