That Patchwork Tote Pattern

That Patchwork Tote Pattern by Lisa Amundson of Around the Bobbin includes sewing instructions for creating a scrap-busting tote in two versions that uses 6-12 fabrics on the exterior. Fat eighths and fat quarter friendly. Great for an introductory class for patchwork and/or bag making. Version A has strips that are equal widths that meet in the middle while Version B’s strips are offset for easier piecing. Handles can be made from webbing or sewn using the directions in the pattern. Magnetic snap closure, easy interior slip pockets, and fully lined. Confident beginner level. Finished size: 12" H x 11" W x 3-1/2" D.
