This is the front of the tote. Between the handles there is a zippered pocket with another pocket behind it.
There are pockets on either side of the bag. I have an umbrella in one of the pockets and the other could hold a bottle of water.
The back of the bag has one large pocket with a magnetic snap closure.
The top of the tote has a separating zipper.
Inside there is a large zippered pocket in the center of the bag. On one side there are pockets for my cell phone, camera and some pens.
The other side of the inside has 2 open pockets and a pleated pocket with a pocket flap with Velcro.
I learned a lot using this pattern and will incorporate some of the features in future bags.
Besides the The Creative Thimble website, I found two blogs which were very helpful in constructing the bag. Colleen's Space has step by step photos showing how the tote goes together. There She Sews! has a detailed tutorial on how to install the separating zipper on top of the tote. (The pattern had called for a regular zipper, the separating zipper makes access to the interior much easier.)
