Picnic Tote Bag FREE sewing tutorial

Need a simple tote bag that is strong, simple to sew and looks stylish? We think we have the perfect pattern for you – and it’s free!

Sew up a basic tote that looks anything but… the cleverly angled straps on this bag give it a clean modern look. And it’s perfect for combining two or three of your favorite fabrics. I named it the ‘Picnic Tote’ because that checked fabric on the sides makes me feel like every outing is a picnic!

When you finish making yourself a Picnic Tote Bag it will measure approximately 10 1/2” tall by 18” wide (not including the straps).

Materials needed:–

• 1 1/2 yards of fabric for the bag exterior
• 3/4 yard of fabric for the lining
• 3/4 yard fusible fleece interfacing
• Shape-flex interfacing to stabilize lightweight fabrics (optional)
• thread
• basic sewing supplies
• sewing machine
