It’s no secret that I love tote bags, and based on their shape (squareish) and their dimensions (variable), I figured I could make one fairly confidently. I found this tote tutorial which uses a dishcloth but could use fabric, and intrigued me by having a lining and interfacing, and made some tote bags. The only changes I made to the directions were that I added a squared bottom and interfaced the lining of the straps.
I made three sizes of totes, not for the three bears, but for me and the girls.
There’s the littlest tote for the littlest one: 
A medium-sized tote for the older daughter:
And a large tote with long handles for me:
