Poolside Tote #2

I made a Poolside Tote last year as part of the 2014 Bag-of-the-Month Club. My son and his girlfriend are coming to visit us at the end of the month after living overseas for about 2 1/2 years and I wanted to make a bag that would be nice and useful for Perla. So I decided on the Poolside Tote as it is a nice roomy bag that can be used for all sort of things.

I chose a light denim fabric and quilted it all over in a floral meander design. I added the slip pocket on this side of the bag.

I added the zippered pocket on this side of the bag. You can never have too many pockets! I also added a magnetic snap to close the bag.

I found this "P" charm on clearance last year and thought it would be a perfect zipper pull for Perla.

Inside the bag I added another pocket.

A swivel hook for keys is sewn into the lining of the bag.

Since I had cut out the center half circle of the bag top, I had a couple of half circles left and thought they looked like the perfect size for a coin purse. So I added a lining and zipper to it and got an instant coin purse.

Coin purse made from leftover bag fabric.

This cute beach fabric seemed like the perfect fabric lining for the poolside tote.
