GeoCentric Two-Sided Super Tote

What to do with three 1\2 yard cuts of GeoCentric by Michelle Engel Benasko for Cloud 9 Fabrics? Well, a two-sided Super Tote by Noodlehead of course!

Side one:

Side two:

Recessed zipper:

Interior pockets:

Exterior pockets with magnetic closures:

This Sew Mama Sew Challenge was so fun. I had three colors, but decided to only use the turquoise and lime along with a natural linen. They worked great together. The only change from the pattern was adding an additional exterior pocket to the bag. My iPad fits perfectly in one side and I wanted to have another exterior pocket for other things.

I really like this tote. My daughter and I have been planning to make a couple for ourselves. I think this pattern will be in the running.
