Overnight Bag size Zippered Tote

I just happened to find a really great
embroidered tapestry fabric with
these lions on it and it fit just right to
make pockets on this Overnight size
Zippered Tote.
This would be a great place to
embroider your own choice of
designs.
Laura's Zippered Tote
I made this leather Small Handbag size Zippered Tote for my mother last
Christmas. I modified the zipper just a bit so that it wouldn't have to be
caught in the seam allowance and I also added the metal rectangle rings
to the handles for a bit of added interest.
Leather is not hard to work with if you get a medium weight soft leather.
I found this at a local flea market so I'm not sure of the exact weight. I
used a 16/90 or 18/100 size Denim/Jeans needle in my sewing machine.
