DIY Multi Pocket Tote Bag

Hello, today I will introduce a very convenient tote bag with many pockets.
Cute pockets on the front and back of the bag allow you to easily store your phone. The divider inside the bag is completely blocked to the bottom so things don’t get mixed up. And the wide bottom of the bag is good for storing a lot of things, so I think it would be appropriate to use it as a diaper bag.
Make your own multi-pocket tote bag.

The finished measurements of this bag are approximately 9″(22.5㎝) W × 9″(22.5㎝) H × 8″(20㎝) D.

You may watch the full video tutorial on my Youtube channel.
