Tote Bags Finished

The above picture is for the lining of the bag below. I finished both bags. They ended up taking longer since I made the bag a bit longer, added pockets all the way around inside and added a closure strip to the top. i thought I would like this bag better but actually like the darker bag better.
Below is the lining and the second bag. I love this one. It is now time for dinner and a movie. Thank you all for letting me sew along with you today. i so enjoyed looking at all your bags. I visited each one of you today and will check in again tomorrow to see the finished ones that I didn't see today.
