It's all yoga's fault.
What started it off was a message to my sister-in-law, June. My brother Mike had been taking yoga classes and after he spoke to me about it for a while I started thinking this is something I should do. So I began doing yoga each morning and I absolutely love it. It's so nice to see how completely unbendable I am. But I'm getting better at it! And of course, while I'm trying to hold steady in a tree pose so it doesn't resemble a tree getting chopped down and more like a nice, steady, straight tree, I start thinking two things: First, "there must be an earthquake going which would explain all this shaking" and second: "how can I accessorize this?" I figure yoga mat bags would be brilliant. So I message June and ask her if my brother has one - I mean, he started me on my yoga journey so I should make him a yoga mat bag. Now, I'm thinking a normal, roll up mat and a normal tube shaped yoga mat bag. She tells me how he could use a yoga mat bag, but then shows me a picture of his mat - it's a giant, folding mat that is long and rectangular when folded.
So I devise a yoga mat bag according to the measurements June sent me and this is what I came up with:
It's the largest tote bag I've ever made, and I guess that's when this "go big or go home" thing started. Since then, I've made a good few large, crossbody hobo bags:
and this slightly adjusted Japanese Bento Bag:
The hobo bags I was immediately happy with and they are currently in my shop - the bento bag pattern still needs work I think, so that got sent to my sister-in-law June to use and test it out for me.
And come to think of it, I haven't even started making yoga mat bags at all. I guess that's next.
So, this is the moral of the story: Don't start yoga unless you have a lot of fabric on hand.
What a information of un-ambiguity and preserveness

Your bags are good and i think they used in various ways like put market items like grocery, kids accessories like toys for girls, other items etc. Nice bags
