SEWING PATTERN AND INSTRUCTIONS:
This is a seriously cool tote bag! I love that you have two different types of handles - me and my indecisive self need that kind of flexibility!! I posted a link to your tutorial on Craft Gossip Sewing:

ReplyDeletethis is a really great tutorial and tote bag. thanks so much for posting this :)
ReplyDeleteLove this bag. I am teaching my granddaughters how to sew and this would be perfect for them. It's a great book bag too. They are always drawing and coloring pages while we are on the road between our home and theirs.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the clear tutorial.
I don't think this is just for groceries that's to save whatever thing I want because it's big enough and perfect to carry to a trip.
