By Annie Pattern – Totally Trendy Totes II

Description

Make your custom tote bag using your favourite fabrics and colours. Clear instructions take you step-by-step through the process of quilting, cutting, marking and sewing. 1. Pick a size — medium, large, or extra-large. 2. Choose a handle length — short for hand-carrying or long for carrying over the shoulder. 3. Decide whether you want the security of an easy zipper closure or an open top. Then, sew and go! The optional zipper is easy to install and opens to fall flat against the bag giving full access to the interior space. Each tote has two outer slip pockets for quick access to phone, keys, and more. Rather than inner pockets, pattern includes instructions for removable see-through zippered project bags. Quick and easy to make and sized to fit perfectly inside each tote, they keep supplies organized yet easy to find and access. The pattern includes instructions for totes in three sizes:

• Medium: 13″W x 12″H x 4″D
• Large: 18″W x 15″H x 7″D
• Extra-large: 20″W x 17″H x 10″D

NOTE: The medium tote is the size of a standard tote bag. The large tote is a great size for taking to quilters’ guild meetings; It will hold a few small quilts. The extra-large tote is very large! It will hold a queen-sized quilt and quilting hoop or lots of supplies for a retreat.
