Sienna Tote Bag Sewing Pattern by My Cup Of Stitching
The Sienna Tote has a job to do — and it does it beautifully. This structured design from My Cup Of Stitching packs in a front flap pocket with a tuck lock clasp, an inner zipper pouch, a slip pocket, and a fully lined interior, all at a size that actually holds what you need. The result is a handmade bag that looks sharp and works even harder.
Why We Love It
- Front flap pocket with a tuck lock clasp — a polished detail that elevates the whole bag

Tips for Success
- Interface your exterior fabric — quilting cotton benefits from a layer of woven fusible interfacing to hold the bag’s structured shape over time.
- Install the tuck lock clasp before assembling the flap pocket — it’s much easier to work with hardware on a flat piece of fabric than once the pocket is sewn in.
- Press every seam as you go — crisp seams make a visible difference in the final finish, especially on a fully lined bag like this one.
