Play with the measurements to get a bag size that works for you. I intend to use these bags as carry-alls for myself and the girls on all of your many cross state drives to and from my parents. They won’t be getting checked on an airplane or loaded onto a bus or anything so they have no fancy closures/zippers/liners or much of anything fancy at all! Hope you make one up- they’d be an awesome library tote, pool or beach bag, photographers prop bag, teachers bag or anything else you could possible use a giant tote for!

Annoying!
