So, I’ve officially decided that the way the marsupial tote works only works for me in theory, and in practice would end up being something that I would put time and effort into but never use.  So, since I stood outside and held the tent down for 3 hours at our sidewalk sale yesterday, I planned all of my modifications to that pattern, by the time I get done with it, it won’t look anything like the original.  I’m okay with that. I’ll post photos tomorrow, hopefully I’ll have the bulk of it done by then.
