An old bag

This is a bag I made when I was in high school because I had a lot of things to tote back and forth from home to school in preparation for the school festival. I remember making this bag with the remnant fabric from making a light weight coat. Initially it had a metal-teeth zipper at the top, but in the later years I took it off and used it for something else. 

It has been used every weekend when we go grocery shopping. The handles were originally made with the same fabric as the bag itself, but it got threadbare after years of use. So, I changed them, and now the bag has nylon webbing handles which should last a long time. 

I made so many little pockets inside of this bag. I remember thinking when I was making this bag that I needed lots of pockets because I wanted to find things in this huge bag.
