Mini Tulip Tote PDF Pattern by Sarah Markos
This stylish little tote is the size of a small purse. It is the perfect sidekick when you just want to carry the essentials. It has a wide base so it stands up by itself. The top opens up wide and stays closed snugly with 2 magnetic snaps. It is surprisingly roomy even though it is small. There are 2 pockets on the inside to organize your small items. The handles are sized to hang on your forearm, but you can lengthen them if you’d like. My favorite thing about the Tulip Tote is the ruching on the sides. I just love the texture it creates.
This pattern is written for a Confident Beginner to Intermediate level sewist.

Lovely pattern. I made this in a day. I made it in the 6 month size for my 5mo and it fit really well. It’s an easy pattern to adapt the way you want, too. I switched the colors (black for stripes, yellow for body) and put the button closure on the front instead of the back. It’s absolutely adorable. My son seemed to like it too!

Super easy pattern! I didn’t realize how big the large bat is but I love it! I have made one large bat and several small bats. They come together pretty quickly! Not sure what I will do with them all but having a good time making a whole bat family.
