Check out this free tote bag pattern from J Caroline Creative! It’s designed for heavy use, with extra fabric reinforcing the botton and straps that won’trip off. Get the pattern, and while you’re there be sure to check out all the fabric, notions, and hardware they offer.

The bag is simple, uses very little fabric (about 2/3rds of a fat quarter), has no fussy inside pockets (although you can add your own if you like), and takes me well less than 30 minutes to print the pattern, cut out and sew. But quick and simple doesn’t mean it’s not awesome!
It’s the sort of bag that is versatile enough to be used for lots of applications, not just cosmetics and toiletries. Keep all your pens and pencils in order, use it for a small first aid kit for the car, keep it in your desk at work for a few headache pills and other personal supplies.
Make some for yourself, for gifts or to sell.
thank you for the tote bag pattern

This may sound like a rather stupid question, but I am trying to print a free pattern for a tote bag. I downloaded the pdf file as instructed, but there is no way I can find to print it out.
Bonnie, When you open the PDF in Adobe, there should be an option to print. Usually it’s an icon with a printer, but it may vary depending on which version of Adobe you’re using. –Anne
can someone please send me this pattern. I bought the supplies per the website but can’t find the pattern now.
I too had problems finding the tutorial as her website is currently (permanently??) down. However, thanks to my friends at google, I found the tutorial on another website for this tote. Here’s the link: http://patternpile.com/sewing-patterns/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/J-Caroline-Tote-Bag-Tutorial.pdf
Happy sewing!

Any way to still get this pattern? I’ve made a couple but it looks like the pattern has been removed. Thanks!
