with the kinds of things you might put inside it.
This pattern fits of fabric with a width of 54 inches - I'd recommend the linen-cotton canvas. One yard will give you two simple tote bags - each one is made up of three pieces: a long front-base-back combo, and two straps. There's also a bonus 14 x 10 inch rectangle of strawberry print (to make up the extra space!).
