This tote was sort of made backwards. You see I wanted to make a lining for a tote bag that I had knit and felted. I thought I had measured things correctly to make a lining, but I am not quite certain how to go about measuring the inside of the knit tote so that it when I sew the lining it will fit exactly. Well obviously the lining did not fit the knit tote bag. I didn't want the lining to go to waste, so I measured the lining and then tried to figure out the measurement for the outside of the bag in order to make the exterior. It worked out and I made this bag. Is it practically perfect in every way? No, but it is useful and looks nice. I wouldn't recommend making a bag in reverse order without a clear pattern though, lol!

| I added pockets all around the bag and the handles and side seams naturally divide the pockets. |

| This is the interior lining that I made first. I sewed this lining to a foam stabilizer.Then I made the exterior after this lining didn't fit my knit and felted bag. |
