Mrs H has some stunning, high-end bag designs, which we see here with the Piped Pocket Tote. I love the versatility of this bag, depending on the fabric you choose it can have a completely different look. Making it in quilting cotton makes it more of a casual look, or making it in leather, or faux leather has a very professional business casual vibe that will be sure to impress.

The piping details add something special to this design and is the perfect way to try a new skill. She has a video tutorial on her YouTube page, walking you through the entire process.

The bag features an inside slip pocket, a zipped pocket, and loads of space for your belongings. Outside there are two deep pockets on each side panel. Included in the pattern are instructions to create two-tone handles, perfect for adding a little something extra using contrasting fabrics. The Piped Pocket Tote has a large front panel that is perfect for modifications such as applique or embroidery.

The Piped Pocket Tote has finished dimensions of 11 1/2″ wide x 9 1/4″ high x 4 1/2″ deep (29cm x 23.5 cm x 11.5cm) for the small, and 13 3/4″ wide x 11 1/2″ high x 5 1/2″ deep (35cm x 29cm x 14 cm) for the large
