A friend of mine started her residency today (yay, Dr. W!). She's been wanting a tote to haul things back and forth in and brought me this fabric. I have been wanting to add "bottoms" to my totes for a more polished look and so I tried it for the first time on this bag. I really like how it turned out. I like the look of a topstitched bottom, so instead of piecing two fabrics together, I just topstitched the second piece over the first. It also gives the bottom a little more shape and weight.
