FREE Patchwork Tote Bag sewing pattern
This is the FREE Patchwork Tote Bag sewing pattern from the designer Charise Creates.
The designer was inspired to make this lovely Tote Bag in Spring as it is her favorite time of year. She says there is nothing more exciting than anticipating new blooms and having a sunny day to tend to the garden.
She chose a Flower Garden fabric which is such a cheery fabric line and the perfect fabric for Spring sewing to make her Patchwork Tote Bag pattern. She says the fabric line is just beautiful with water color florals, ditzy sweet florals and a lovely gingham.
The patchwork panels were made to make outside pockets which are obviously super handy and the strap is extra long so it can be worn cross body. She again used a Flower Garden fabric to line the tote. And we agree with her that it’s great to see the lining peeking out at the top of the tote!
A natural color linen was used for the main body of the and the straps which allows the Flower Garden Prints to really stand out.
