Simple Shoulder Strap Tote Bag sewing pattern
This Simple Shoulder Strap Tote Bag really is a simple, beautiful, solution to carrying what you need for summer, school, vacations, babies, you name it! It fits comfortably across your body or just over your shoulder to keep your hands free. We love the simplicity of the design.
They are inexpensive with only the cost of the fabrics, no fancy hardware or expensive interfacing is needed to make this one. This could easily be made from another item you may no longer want, such as a skirt, just cut out the pattern pieces from it and you have made something useful out of an item you would have otherwise discarded. Or scout your way through your local thrift shop to get the fabric for pennies.
It’s especially lovely to use this bag at theme parks/water parks. It’s easy to carry a little or a lot and carry it comfortably while keeping your arms and hands-free for other tasks.
The sewing pattern consists of color photographs and graphics that accompany verbal descriptions of each step. There are sewing tips along the way and instructions for adding pockets and key straps.
This bag is fully reversible too! You can complete this bag in less than two hours, even if you are a beginner. They would make great gifts for your friends too!
