I love the bag. I read and re-read the part where you attach the lining to the tote and, for the life of me, I could NOT understand how to do it. I was confused about turning the bag and/or the lining inside out first before putting them together. I also couldn't figure out how to turn them after being sewn together so that the lining was on the inside of the tote and the lining's seam allowances didn't show when you looked inside the tote UNTIL I realized I had to leave an opening at the bottom of the lining so that I could turn the bag and lining the way it is supposed to be turned in order to finish the bag. I FINALLY figured it out, thanks to your instructions. I guess at the tender age of 62, I am just becoming mentally DENSE. Thank you. Now I can finish my totes with the absence of cuss words as I sew. Hahaha.

I did end up using this tutorial to make my daughter's library bag, and the tute was AWESOME! Very easy to follow and I turned out a pretty professional looking bag I think. Thanks!

How cute! Love the applique! I googled how to make a lined tote and this popped up. I used to get grounded from books, too! LOL! We didn't have a tv so I read everything from cereal boxes to parenting books.

I have made my own library bag, too, and it made a huge difference in keeping track of the books. We hang it from a hook by the front door and have only one book out at a time. I even put a pocket in for my library card.:0)

Brilliant!! I think I'll have to make one of these myself someday. I'm not much of a sewer, but I like your bag much more than the one I'm using right now.
