Project 3: Lacy V Shopper's Tote Bag (with alterations)

I don't know with the other girls but I am really a huge fan of tote bags because I'm the type of girl who just put everything inside. I don't want the hassle of opening way too many zippers whenever I put something in or take something out of my bag. I want my bag to be huge and spacious that's why I decided to make this bag plus it would be a practice for my beginner crocheting skills.

Do you wanna make one?

You can copy the pattern from this site:

I also attached a lining on it so that I can use it better. If you don't know how to make a lining for this bag, click here.

Note: I altered my own creation so it's up to you if you want to alter your own or follow the original pattern.
