Tote Bags are given to patients who may be leaving the hospital and going to a foster home.  Tote Bags may also be used at some of our summer camps. 

They are usually the size of an average tote bag (20” by 20”) and can be closed by drawstring, by a flap with Velcro, or something similar.  They have a carrying strap or straps. 

Canvas or other more-rugged type fabrics are desirable, but not a requirement.  You can make them on the serger or whatever way that is easiest for you.  It is just a basic tote bag. 

Remember the teens when choosing fabric patterns.
