This is exactly what I’m looking for! I’m off to start making it RIGHT NOW!!! Thanks very much! Michelle

Due to a back injury, I now have to use a cane and walker. I would like a pattrn for making a tote bad that I could attach to my walker. Can you help Thank you.
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!
