Laura's Tote Bag Pattern

The Laura's Tote Pattern by Laura Martell of The Creative Thimble includes sewing instructions for creating an easy to make tote that makes up quickly.  You start with a rectangle of fabric, (which includes both the main fabric and lining fabric), and then there is only one side seam and a bottom seam to sew. Add your handles and a rim and you are done. Directions for both inside and outside pockets are included. Finished sizes: SMALL - 16" W x 14" H, LARGE - 20" W x 14" H.
