The Wavey Top Tote Bag FREE sewing pattern (2 sizes)
Here’s an excellent FREE sewing pattern for The Wavey Top Tote Bag that comes in two sizes.
This is a really great project from a talented designer, Sweet Bee Buzzings. It’s an old post but all the links still work and the whole process is FREE, and the designer has made the bag available in two sizes.
The Wavey Top Tote Bag is a very nice-looking tote bag that comes in two sizes. As its name suggests it has a distinctive wavey top, as well as outside pockets including slant pockets, a zippered inside pocket, a zipper closure, and shoulder straps.

- The small bag is 10 inches wide, 10 1/2 inches high, and 4 inches deep.

The designer has spread her sewing tutorial over four pages, however, there’s a separate pdf for all four parts of the tutorial.
