Inaugural Sewing Project

I finally decided on the first project to make on my shiny new sewing machine. A big tote bag! Now, as I discovered, it's not really quite a tote bag if it's not made of canvas, so I actually invented more of a folding tote bag by accident. Either way, after become very well acquainted with my seam ripper, it finally came together pretty well.

I used denim for the outside and straps, and then a tan colored cotton for the lining-complete with a buttoning pocket!
(Don't look at the stitching to close, please :)
What sort of bag do you like to carry around?

I generally prefer to carry a bag that does not clash with my shoes!
