Upcycled Zippered Tote Bag

It's been long pending - a tote bag for my MIL...

She has been asking me to make a bag for her with an inside zippered pocket for quite sometime now. But as usual life happens and time flies, it was really difficult for me to spend time on sewing the bag.

One day, while clearing up our closet I found my husband's old kurta that he had asked me to give away. Since the kurta looked brand new I did not feel like parting with it. That is when it struck me to make the bag out of it. So I used one of my MIL's old sarees and the kurta as lining along with the usual rice bag for stabilising (and the inside zipper).

I found this amazing tutorial on the internet that I followed to make the tote bag, along with using my own ideas for making the inside zippered pocket and bag straps. Bag with Zip
