This tote is just the right size for carrying a laptop, file folders, knitting projects, etc. The rectangular shape can easily be adapted for an iPad or made larger for holding big projects. The bag fabric has been strip-pieced together to create a modern patchwork look. Then the patchwork is top stitched in a contrasting thread. If you want to go really simple, construct the bag with just one fabric.
