I call this tote “The Boodle” because as either a tote or purse with the organizer inside, it can hold the whole kit and kaboodle! The larger size tote would make a great knitting bag; a tote for a weekend trip; or a diaper bag.

In the smaller version as a purse, it holds everything with easy access and visibility.

Large tote bottom measures 16 inches by 8.5 inches, 11.5 inches tall. Purse (smaller version) bottom measures 12.5 inches by 7 inches, 11.5 inches tall.

Free Bonus! The directions for the organizer are included with the purchase of the tote/purse pattern.

The last picture is of my two sweet dogs that are often fondly remembered, Boodle (Standard Poodle and namesake of this project) and her “sister” Sara (Dalmatian).
