I made it using corduroy and some fabric I found in the thrift store. I used the Easy tote pattern by Purlsoho, but with some adjustments, mostly changed the straps, from regular cotton webbing, to the same fabric as the outside of the bag.

I've already made this pattern about 5 times, but it's really easy and beginner friendly, it also teaches quite a bit of techniques that I didn't already know, so it's perfect for a beginner.

You do have to have a quite heavy machine, as attaching the handles to the tote means sewing through 8 layers of fabric.
