Free pattern: Reversible hobo tote

Remona from The Stitching Scientist shares a free pattern for making this reversible hobo tote. It’s a simple bag – easy to sew, and easy to grab and go. It’s a good sized bag, measuring 15″ across when complete. She says it’s big enough to carry her gym gear or her daughter’s stuff for sleepovers. I could see me tossing my tablet and maybe a small sewing project in there and taking it along with me when I’ve got a day filled with errands.
