The Tote Bag

Here are the photos of the tote bag I made for my airplane trip. I made this while I still had my hem to finish on my skirt. It was one of those times where I couldn't finish the one project because if I messed it up I wouldn't get anything "accomplished" while if I stalled for a bit and at least made the bag I would certainly get something done. Does anyone else's mind work like this or is it just me?

The black and white is home dec fabric from Ikea. The green is a heavy coated ripstop nylon remnant from a local outdoor fabric store.

The fabric from Ikea is very difficult for my machine to sew. I'm not certain why - it isn't super stiff or overly thick, but my machine just doesn't like it.
