Going somewhere? Carry all your necessities in a Tote-ally Easy Tote Bag. This beginner pattern offers two different bag styles - The Simple Tote and The Market Tote - so you can make your bag super unique and fitting to your needs. Both bags are fully lined and have a boxed bottom. The Simple Tote features fabric straps and an exterior slip pocket, while the Market Tote is dressed up with an accent fabric at the bottom and uses cotton webbing for straps. Fusible interfacing gives the bags some structure and sturdiness, but they’re still lightweight enough to fold up and store! With plenty of diagrams and easy to read instructions, this is a great project for confident beginners looking to advance their skills.
