Art tool tote bag

I got an order for a tote bag to hold numerous art tools! I was excited to make a bag like this. 

First step was to make sewing patterns for the specifications given. (I use reused paper to make patterns. Why not?)

I cut the canvas fabric into pieces and started sewing. This bag has total of 16 outer pockets to hold markers, bushes, boxes of coloured pencils, and any other things that need to be kept there. 

I keep on sewing and sewing. So much fun. 

Here is the picture of the finished bag below. 

I hope the artist will make this canvas bag unique by splashing some paint on it and leave interesting marks on it.
