Jinger's best tote

Thanks to my friend Jinger for the pattern for this sturdy tote. At 14" long by 8" deep, it's a good size for shopping or for carrying "stuff". Because it is partially lined with a removable liner, it could even be used as a purse or shoulder bag. The Shaker tape handles best are sewn in one piece which makes the basket even sturdier, and the "X" on the ends adds a touch of whimsy.
