Summery Tote

Summery Tote
I mentioned to my youngest daughter I was thinking of making her some sort of purse for her birthday and asked what type she'd like, fabric, etc., she said she was really liking tote bags lately and wanted it in "summery" looking fabrics including aqua, coral/orange and yellow, so I set out to look for fabrics and planned the pattern, here's what I came up with. I forgot to build pockets into the canvas interior, so I got the fabrics back out, and made pockets to match the front and back, and gave it a big polka dot button, just because. Thanks for looking.

Thanks so much, everyone.
Ube - I sew deeper seams in the lining, with this bag probably a 3/8" seam (with a 1/4" seam on the exterior), with a quilted outer I go even deeper, probably closer to 1/2" so the lining isn't baggy.
Brenda, I got the fabrics from Hobby Lobby and Joann's so no collection as such, they just all worked together pretty well.
