Celine Zip Top Tote Bag sewing pattern
This is the Celine Zip Top Tote Bag pattern. The fantastic designer has made her Celine bag look like a smart handbag but has given it a simple tote bag functionality, making it the perfect everyday bag. Carry it over your arm, in your hand, or pop your arm through, and carry it on your shoulder.
The top zipper keeps your belongings secure, while the closure straps provide a little added security while giving this bag its unique shape. See the image at the bottom of this article for the unique extra straps you can add to the top of the bag to cinch it in, give it that unique shape and also keep the top of the bag a little more secure.
You can unsnap the top strap to expand the bag into a full tote and get extra space for when you have a lot to carry.
