Tutorial and pattern: Cat tote with paws

by

This kitty tote has it all – a cat face on the front, a cat tail on the back, and best of all four kitty paws hanging from the bottom!  I call it my Paws And All tote and I’ve got a free pattern and tutorial for you over at Orange Bettie.  I’ve been carrying this bag around for a week now, and I’ve gotten tons of compliments.  It’s a roomy bag, big enough to carry my laptop.  It’s lined and has boxed corners.  Finished dimensions are 14″ tall x 15″ wide x 3″ deep.

Easy Cosmetics Bag Sewing Pattern

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.
