I forgot to cut all of the zipper and pocket bindings. Fortunately, I had the turquoise stripe with me and it went well with the zippers and the general overall look of the bag.<\/p>\n<p>I customized some of the pockets for my tools. For the mesh pocket, I divided it into a very large section and a small section. The large section will be used for a rotary cutter and the small section will be for Sewline pencil refills.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_64583\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-64583\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/20241023_193423_wm-sm.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-64583\" src=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/20241023_193423_wm-sm-300x201.jpg\" alt=\"Running with Scissors tote - outside \" width=\"300\" height=\"201\" srcset=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/20241023_193423_wm-sm-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/20241023_193423_wm-sm-768x514.jpg 768w, https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/20241023_193423_wm-sm.jpg 802w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 85vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-64583\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Running with Scissors tote &#8211; outside<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>I thought the webbing I used for the handle would hurt my hand, but I think the bag won&#8217;t get heavy enough to be a problem.
