This is a smaller sized version of Julie’s Structured tote and works great as a tote bag for younger/smaller kids who don’t want quite such a large bag size as the regular structured tote. It is a great Intermediate bag pattern that is great if you have made a simple tote and want to take your skills to the next level but aren’t quite ready to follow a commercial bag making pattern.
