Two Big Totes Pattern

The Two Big Totes Pattern by Annie includes sewing instructions for creating two spacious totes—large and extra-large—perfect for everything from beach days and grocery runs to weekend getaways and sewing retreats. The wide openings of these totes make it easy to pack and access your essentials, while a variety of slip and zippered pockets inside and out keep your items organized. Sturdy, over-the-shoulder handles provide comfortable carrying, and the reinforced base offers added durability for heavy loads. The easy-to-install zipper closure keeps contents secure, and when opened, it falls flat against the tote for full access to the interior. Whether you need a dependable travel companion or a roomy everyday bag, Two Big Totes have you covered!
