***This is a PDF sewing pattern and not a finished product. The pattern will be available for instant download as soon as your payment has been processed.

+++This is a measure and cut pattern which means that there are NO TEMPLATES to print off and match up- Yay! You need a rotary cutter, ruler and mat and you can cut the pattern pieces straight from the fabric. This is easier than it sounds because the pieces are all simple squares and rectangles.

When you buy this pattern, you have my permission to make this bag to sell- no mass production allowed of course but a few to sell at craft fairs or online, that sort of thing is fine. All I ask is that you credit me as the designer. I wish you all the success in the world with sales!

All measurements are in INCHES.

This little tote is the best everyday bag! Honestly, it has everything that you could want but is not huge so it is no burden to, um… tote around! It has little details that make your heart glad and the great news is that none of them are very difficult. As usual, I have linked specific blog posts in the pattern if you need a bit of extra help so it is a great pattern to increase your sewing knowledge too.
One great thing about this bag (and it was hard to choose just the one), is the bound top zipper. I love these secure and neat ways to close a bag and I reckon that you will too. There is a new blog post to show you how to do it too. Happy Days!
