Meet my new bag. {gray chevron love}

Thank you to my sister in law Karen for helping me make this super fantastic bag. I got some new gray boots that I will be rockin' this fall and winter and I thought a gray chevron bag would be the perfect compliment.
I found the fabric from Hobby Lobby for $8.99 a yard, then you can use their 40% off coupon on top of that.
We used the tutorial for the popular Tohuko Tote from the original source here http://www.iammommahearmeroar.net/2011/09/tohoku-tote.html?m=1
There are so many options for switching up this pattern with a little imagination, the possibilities are endless! Karen and I have this thing about the inside of our bag looking cute too. She added the chevron to my pocket inside and I love it. But then again, I love everything about this bag!
