“Totes” Canvas Tote Bag FREE sewing pattern and tutorial
|
Tote bags are so useful, you can never have too many totes, can you? You can have a different tote bag for many different occasions and of course for many different outfits.
This FREE pattern & tutorial takes a ready-made canvas tote and dresses it up with colorful fabrics. A lining is also added to the inside and the straps, just for a little more color.
The Tote Bag is based on the following approximate measurements: 17 1/2″ by 17 1/2″ with 30″ by 1″ straps.

- Canvas Tote Bag (purchased, or you can make your own – check out all of our tote bag patterns here),
