I just put a couple of pockets with zippers in the inside of the totes for the things that I don't want to get lost in the bottom of the bag. Always get comments on them. And I make them big enough that they can be used to put some of my purchases in.
I love your dolphin bag, it looks summery!

I made one out of some quilted place mats that I really liked that did not go with the current decor I had and I got lots of compliments (I love dolphins and anything beach related, if you like it that's all that matters)

Living in Fl,Dolphins seem very appropriate.I use a tote when I want to carry my iPad.Mine has 2 zipperd pockets & a couple with Velcro.So easy to wash & dry,inexpensive.Carry your tote & be proud of it.

I really like that tote and wouldn't hesitate to use it. If I made it I'd probably have dogs on it but that's just a personal preference. Your tote is very attractive and not child like.

Thank you for your comments!

Hey, nothing childesh about that, I love it, here are some I have made. I love them, just throw them in the washer and they are good to go again. The solid one is made fron Drapery Panels. The other is just scrap I had on hand.

Im interested in carrying my galaxy tablet, my wallet and keys. So I really dont need a big bow tuck purse. Just curious if another ladies out there might like carrying smaller totes. And I mean not child like totes...i made a poochie tote with dolphin material and I really like it. But am afraid it looks too child like.....

Wendy

I haVe no idea what a POOCHIE tote is, bu I own a blue zillion "shopping bagsd".., I use them for gorceries. For info for different meetings/groups. For books. For project storane.

I'm guesssing the tote you pictured is reversible
